3. If there is a metal plate at the back of the selected slots, remove them. Keep the
screw from the top of the plates to anchor your board and cable adapter bracket
once they are installed.
4. Position your Matrox Radient eCL board in the selected slot(s), and then press
the board firmly but carefully into the connector of the slot.
Important
When installing your Matrox Radient eCL 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. Matrox Radient eCL
must not
come into contact with the latch
of this retainer.
The PCIe specification does not define appropriate keep-out regions for the latch
to provide any tolerance to tilting or rotation when inserting or removing add-in
boards in these connectors. Therefore, do not tilt the Matrox Radient eCL board
backwards or rotate it when installing it; otherwise the board can touch the latch
and get damaged. Note that the same is true when removing the board.
Alternatively, you can remove the latch from the retainer.
