3. you want to use a Svethlana ethernet board together with an EtherNat on the SuperVidel you should mount the supplied ribbon cable on the SuperVidel JP4 connector before putting the EtherNat on the SuperVidel Read the Svethlana installation section 4 5 Putting the SuperVidel in place Now that you have read and done all the above you are ready to install the SuperVidel on the CT60 The DVI connector should be facing right If you have an EtherNat and Svethlana make sure its flat cable is attached to the SuperVidel before putting the EtherNat on the SuperVidel Then you put the whole package of SuperVidel possible EtherNat onto the CT60 expansion connector or possibly the CTPCI e Be extremely careful that you align the connector pins correctly before pushing down the SuperVidel Turning the power on when it is incorrectly aligned could kill any chip on either the SuperVidel or CT60 e Be very careful not to apply pressure on ANY CHIP when pushing down the SuperVidel EtherNat Only press on the upward going 50 pin headers on the front and back sides e Gently push the SuperVidel down a few mm at a time on each side so you don t push it all the way down on one side first Beawarethatthe CTCM may be too high to be able to push the SuperVidel down all the way In that case read CTCM again 4 5 1 Motherboard clocks optional When you have put the SuperVidel in place you can install the motherboard clock signal cable optional

15. utely NO responsibility for damage that you may cause to your CT60 while doing this Easiest may be to cut the plastic of each pair of pins and then desolder the pair at the same time while pushing it out of its holes When you are done solder the Extenders into the free rows of holes so the Extenders are facing you Note that this men a Si of Ta Extender boards hence the i colour Also v that the longer Extender is hidden below the CT60 Before putting the CT60 Extenders back on the falcon motherboard put something between the CT60 and the longer Extender board like a thick piece of eraser rubber to give mechanical support when pushing the CT60 down 4 General installation These steps apply to all kinds of falcon cases Do the steps below before putting the SuperVidel on the CT60 4 1 Motherboard clocks The SuperVidel mimics the Videl output by generating a video clock that differs by only a few ppm in frequency to the real 25 175MHz VGA clock on the motherboard But since they can never be exactly the same an emulated Videl output from the SuperVidel will slowly drift out of sync with the Videl video signal over time This is no problem if you run desktop stuff only Then you can skip this part and go to CT60 jumper But if you want to play games which use vertical sync and especially those that use horizontal sync too used for palette swapping you will need to feed the original motherboard video clock and Vsync into the Su
