Although the backplane of the Argus OmniBus is based on standard 64bit/66MHz PCI bus it
is highly recommended to not insert other cards than those mentioned above.
Other cards will not work due to the missing driver support and there is also a risk to
damage the OmniBus or the inserted cards.

at the bottom to the right there is the

there is an

In an OmniBus with redundant power supply the LED [3] is also lightened green, if one of
the two power modules is removed but the remaining power module is working well.
It is not an indicator that redundancy is available!
