Installing your Matrox Radient eCL board

Before you install your Matrox Radient eCL board, some precautionary measures
must be taken. Turn off the power to your computer and its peripherals, and drain
static electricity from your body (by touching a metal part of the computer chassis).

Important

❖

Note that your board should be installed before you install your software.

Proceed with the following steps to install your board:

1. Remove the cover from your computer; refer to your computer’s documentation

for instructions.

2. Check that you have an empty x8 (or x16) PCIe slot in which to install your

Matrox Radient eCL

*. Note that you can also install Matrox Radient eCL in a x4 PCIe slot that has a

mechanical x8 connector; however, the maximum transfer rate between Matrox Radi-
ent eCL and the Host is reduced by 50%.

x16 PCIe

32-bit PCI slot

x8 PCIe

x1 PCIe

64-bit PCI-X slot
