The Spectrum type plate, which consists of the following components, can be found on all of our boards. Please check whether the printed
information is the same as the information on your delivery note. All this information can also be read out by software:
The board type, consisting of the two letters describing the bus (in this case M2p.xxxx-x4 for the PCI Express x4 bus) and the model
number.
The size of the on-board installed memory in MSample or GSample. In this example there are 512 MS
(1 GByte = 1024 MByte) installed.
The serial number of your Spectrum board. Every board has a unique serial number.
A list of the installed options. A complete list of all available options is shown in the order information. In this example no additional
options are installed.
The base card version, consisting of the printed circuit board (PCB) version, the hardware version and the firmware version.
The version of the analog/digital front-end module, consisting of the printed circuit board (PCB) version, the hardware version and
the firmware version (if available). If no programmable device is located on the module, the firmware field is left empty.
The date of production, consisting of the calendar week and the year.
The version of the extension module (such as a star-hub) if one is installed, consisting of the printed circuit board (PCB) version, the
hardware version and the firmware version. If no extension module is installed this part is left empty.
Please always supply us with the above information, especially the serial number in case of support request. That
