2-8 Installation
Verify that the cartridge is resting, un-tilted, and the Alignment Plate is centered within the Alignment
Fork.
Plug in the Power Connector. The connector is keyed so it will only insert one way.
Close the Rear Cover and push down on the latches until they “click”. Later on in this manual under the
“Making the Connections” section, we will verify that you have installed the cartridge correctly. For now,
let’s assume that it is OK and move on to the next section.
Laser Cooling Requirements
This type of laser system uses fans to keep the laser cartridge and electronics cooled during operation.
Maintain the room temperature at the recommended ambient temperature range outlined previously in the
Operating Environment section.
Computer Requirements
The following is the MINIMUM required computer configuration. Using a faster computer with more
capacity will increase efficiency and throughput. Although using a computer that does not meet our
minimum recommendation might be acceptable to you, a faster computer will definitely pay for itself in a
short amount of time.
Do not confine the back of the machine by surrounding it with furniture,
shelving, backing it into a corner, etc. The backside of the laser system
must be allowed to “Breathe” otherwise it can overheat the laser
cartridge, power supply, and/or the CPU module. Overheating may cause
serious and very costly damage to the laser system.
