Install the USB 3.0 or CoaXPress PCIe Card
Ensure your PC is powered off.
Ensure anti-static precautions and use the anti-static strap provided to prevent
potential damage ESD. Keep all screws safe.
Ensure you only run Marana using the USB3 or CoaXPress
connection NOT both.
1. Unplug all cables from the rear of the computer.
2. Open the PC enclosure to gain access to the expansion slots.
3. Locate a suitable PCIe slot, x4, x8 x16 PCIe recommended for USB3 and x8
and x16 PCIe recommended for CXP (note that x1 slots may be shared with
other devices resulting in reduced system performance). If you are unsure
which slot is correct, please consult the PC user manual.
4. Remove the filler bracket corresponding to the slot you intend to use.
5. Remove the controller card carefully from its protective ESD packaging and
insert the card connector fully into the expansion slot.
6. Ensure the card's mounting bracket is flush with any other mounting or filler
brackets to either side of it, then secure the controller card in place.
7. Replace the computer cover and secure with mounting screws if applicable.
8. Reconnect any accessories you were using previously.
Notes:
•
Use only the cables supplied by Andor.
•
Do not connect any other device to the cards as this may interfere with normal camera operation or
performance (USB only).
•
Camera operation with PCIe cards not supplied by Andor cannot be guaranteed.
•
Windows 8 and 10 will install their own driver that works with the Startech card.
•
When using a CoaXPress connection, please ensure sleep mode functions of the PC are deactivated.
Checking & Setting BIOS options (for CXP on PCs not supplied by Andor)
Enter the BIOS menu when starting PC. For Dell workstations, press F12 at start-up and select System Setup in the

set:
•
C-States Control – Disable C-States.
•
Intel Speed-step – Disable Speed-step.
•
Memory Node Interleaving – Set from NUMA to SMP. Note: This option is only available on larger workstations
with 2 physical processors and may have a different name - ensure that NUMA is disabled.

Camera is not recognized by PC
•
Ensure camera is switched to ON (The camera must be powered up - with double beep, before the software is
initiated).
•
Check that the camera cable(s) are securely and correctly connected between the camera and the PCIe card in
the PC (as described in section 5).
•
Check that the PCIe card and drivers have been installed properly (Devices and printers) in Windows, Control

Connect the Camera and Switch it on
Ensure that the Camera ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position AND your PC is switched OFF.
It may take 10-15 minutes to reach target cooling temperature depending on camera
cooling/environmental parameters.
The cooling system must be connected via its 2 coolant pipes and running before the camera is switched on.
Ensure that the camera is operating within the environmental conditions stated in the hardware guide.
Coolant temperature: should be no greater than 16°C to achieve max cooling.
Coolant must be above the dew point of the ambient environment to prevent condensation from occurring.
