Turn off your computer and open the cover.
Install your PCI-DAS6000 Series or PCI-DAC6700 Series board in the computer. Refer to your board’s
hardware User Guide for installation instructions.
Connect the digital signal cable from one of the interface connectors on the 6K-ERB08 to the 100-pin
interface connector on your 6000 Series control board. Your signal cable determines which interface
connector to connect to.
C100MMS-x
cable: Connect one end of the cable to either 100-pin interface connector (
P21
or
P20
)
on the 6K-ERB08, and connect the other end of the cable to the 100-pin interface connector on the
6000 Series control board.
C100HD50-x
cable: Connect the 50-pin cable end stamped
Pins 51 to 100
to either 50-pin connector
(
P6
or
P5
) on the 6K-ERB08, and connect the 100-pin cable end to the 100-pin interface connector on
the 6000 Series control board.
External power is required when using the C100HD50-x cable
The C100HD50-x cable does not provide power to the 6K-ERB08. If you use the C100HD50-x cable, power
the 6K-ERB08 with an external power source.

To connect other accessory boards or devices to your 6K-ERB08, use the remaining 100-pin interface
connector and/or the two 50-pin connectors for the connection(s). The following typical configurations are
possible:
When using a C100MMS-x cable, you can use a second C100MMS-x cable to daisy chain to an SCB-
100 accessory board, OR you could use a C50FF-x cable to daisy chain to a 50-pin accessory board.
When using a C100HD50-x cable, you can use a C50FF-x cable to daisy chain to a 50-pin accessory
board.
