Table 2: LED configuration Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com Kvaser Mini PCI Express User’s Guide 4 10 (18) How to use the Kvaser Mini PCI Express To use the Kvaser Mini PCI Express as a CAN interface, connect the unit to a free Mini PCI Express slot. 4.1 Troubleshooting Use “Kvaser Hardware” in the Control Panel to verify that the computer can communicate with the Kvaser Mini PCI Express. If the firmware version shown is all zeroes, there are communication problems. If the LEDs are not flashing or illuminated at all, check the power supply. If the LEDs are flashing or illuminated, compare the pattern with the specified led indicators in Section 3.6, LED indicators, on Page 9. Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com Kvaser Mini PCI Express User’s Guide 5 11 (18) Appendices In this section you will find technical information about Kvaser Mini PCI Express and its connectors. 5.1 Technical data In Table 3 below you will find the Kvaser Mini PCI Express technical specifications.

The Kvaser Mini PCI Express does not contain any CAN bus termination, Kvaser AB, Mölndal, Sweden — www.kvaser.com Kvaser Mini PCI Express User’s Guide 13 (18) because their inclusion could cause severe disturbance in a system which is already correctly terminated. For laboratory or testing use, the exact value of the termination resistors is not always critical. Sometimes a single terminator is sufficient. For production, proper termination is essential. If you see error frames on the bus, you should check the termination. To save yourself a lot of trouble, always terminate the CAN bus properly.
