Synchronization of more than one card
9.1
Important information
Important information!
A bad or missing sync-connection may lead to inconsistent data blocks. This would
affect the data integrity and data correlation!
Each card is delivered with a synchronization cable (sync cable) for connecting up to 6
cards. Unused plugs of the cable can left unconnected and must not be terminated.
If you plug in or unplug PCI/PCIe cards this may change the PCI/PCIe configuration of
the PC. This can affect the signal or I/O configuration of the system because the ID of
the boards may change.
In that case move the fiber optic cables to the correct card.
Always save your system configuration before changing hardware components.
