3. If there is a metal plate at the back of the selected slots, remove it. Keep the screw
from the top of the plate to anchor your board and cable adapter bracket once
they are installed.
4. Position your Matrox Rapixo CXP board in the selected PCIe slot. Align the
connectors of your board with the opening at the back of the slot, and move the
board until the connectors pass through the opening.
Important
When installing your Matrox Rapixo CXP board in a x16 PCIe slot, special care
must be taken to avoid damaging the board. Some x16 PCIe slots have a connector
with a retainer. You should avoid touching the latch of this retainer with the board.
Alternatively, you can remove the latch from the retainer.
5. Once the input connectors are in the opening of the chassis, press the board firmly
but carefully straight down into the connector of the slot.
6. Anchor the board using the screw that you removed in step 3.
7. Optionally, connect your computer’s power supply cable that has a 6-pin,
compatible, mating 12 V connector, to the internal auxiliary 12 V power
connector.

You only need to connect the auxiliary power if you are using PoCXP-compliant
video sources with Matrox Rapixo CXP.
8. If required, install the cable adapter bracket, as described in the section Installing
the cable adapter bracket , later in this chapter.
