Using the power connector
A Matrox Concord F-series board can receive power, through its internal power
connector, directly from the power supply of your computer. This is essential if
the attached cameras together draw more than .5 A total (6W) over the three
1394b connectors combined.
To properly connect the power supply to the internal power connector of Matrox
Concord F-series, do the following:
1. If the cable attached to the power supply of your computer has LP4 connectors,
find an available connector to which you can connect the Matrox Concord F-series
board.
If the cable attached to the power supply of your computer has SATA connectors,
attach an SATA-female-to-LP4-female power adapter cable to an available SATA
connector.
