• If you aren't using PoCXP, you need an external power supply. Make sure that the power supply meets the requirements listed in the topic about your camera model.
• If required, a suitable lens.
  Contact Basler technical support if you need assistance in determining the best lens for your application.
• If required, a suitable mount.
• Depending on your camera model, up to four CoaXPress data cables with appropriate connectors or one fiber cable.
• As applicable, a power or a power and I/O cable with appropriate connectors.
• 冷却元件（适用时），例如散热板。

General Installation Steps#

1. Remove the protective seal or cap from the camera front.
2. If required, attach a mount to the camera.
   Make sure that the mount is attached in the proper direction with the lens mount facing out.
3. If required, attach a suitable lens to the camera.
   Be careful not to insert the lens any deeper than specified in the Maximum Allowed Lens Intrusion topic.
