Hardware Set-up

The Phase One H 5 connects to the computer via an IEEE 1394 connec-
tion. This new, extremely fast connection does not have many of the limi-
tations of the SCSI technology used in previous digital cameras. Many of
the problems related to SCSI such as setting ID
numbers, termination, and not being able to “hot-plug” (having to shut
down before unplugging the device) are nonexistent with 1394.
The cable length can be extended using the Phase One Power
Conditioners to move the camera far from the computer.

Install the PCI IEEE 1394 card (if required).
While the owner’s manual for the particular computer should be
consulted, the basic steps to installing the card are as follows:

1) Shut down and unplug the computer.

2) Remove the cover, exposing the motherboard.

3) Choose an empty PCI slot and remove the screw and cover.

4) Gently place the card into the slot with the 1394 connectors
facing through the opening.

5) Press straight down and slightly rock the card until it is firmly
seated in the slot.

6) Replace the screw to hold the card in place.

7) Replace the case, restart the computer.

Photographic Equipment Set-up

In addition to setting up the computer, the camera must be prepared for
working with the Phase One H 5.
This involves a few simple steps:

1) A Ground Glass Mask is included. This must
be installed in the viewfinder to ensure correct
framing. Remove the camera viewfinder and
focusing screen (refer to the camera users
manual for detailed instructions). Insert the
Ground Glass Mask and replace the viewing
screen and the viewfinder.

2) If a Mamiya RZ67 Pro II is used, connect the mounting plate to the
camera and then connect the cable from the mounting plate to the
connector on the front of the Mamiya. Be sure that the cable is connected
and locked properly; the latching mechnism will be on the bottom
