Table 3-2. Slot Capabilities
On the PCIe2-462, the slot connector size matches the slot width back to the backplane switch. All ten
slots use open back connectors taht allow users to plug in larger add-in cards. Slots J6 and J7 use PCIe
slot connectors but proprietary pin outs and are not for general purpose use. Slot J10 is for the Upstream
cable Adapter and slot J7 is for the optional System Monitor board. Only Cyclone Microsystems
Upstrean Cable Adapters and System Monitor boards should be installed in slots J6 and J7 respectively.
Table-3-2 summarizes the slot capabilities.
