4.4.3 Firewire Card Installation
Please follow the instructions below to install the FireWire card into your PC or Mac.
ChemiDoc XRS – PC:
1. Install the FireWire (IEEE 1394) adaptor card into the PC if necessary. Make sure that the computer
is powered off and the power cord is disconnected from the PC while installing.
2. Turn on the computer.
3. The Windows XP or 2000 operating systems will recognize the card and automatically install the
appropriate driver for it.
ChemiDoc XRS – Mac:
Current Mac systems generally have onboard FireWire ports (connectors). The ChemiDoc XRS FireWire
cameras can be plugged directly into any one of these connectors, and the Bio-Rad software interface will
be able to communicate with the camera via this port.
4.5 Installing the White Light Transilluminator (Optional)
1. To install the white light transilluminator, open the enclosure door and pull the drawer toward you.
2. Locate the power cable positioned on the inside left side of the enclosure, behind the drawer slide.
3. Remove the black rubber that covers the banana plug and insert it into the white light
transilluminator outlet. Make sure that the main power switch on the transilluminator is in the ON
position. The transilluminator will not illuminate, because power to the white light transilluminator
is controlled from the membrane touch pad.
4. To use the white light transilluminator, place it horizontally on the UV transilluminator and press the
TransWhite button on the membrane touch pad.
When the white light transilluminator is not in use, store it in the two plastic holders located at the rear of
the enclosure, as it stands against the back wall.
