Chapter 2: Hardware installation
Use the following steps to install your Matrox Meteor-II board for PC/104
-Plus
:
1. Matrox Meteor-II for PC/104
-Plus
can operate in either a 5V or 3.3V system. In
some cases, a hole in the PC/104
-Plus
(PCI) connector is filled, which prevents
another PC/104-
Plus
board from being stacked on top. To install
Matrox Meteor-II for PC/104
-Plus
in a system with a specific signalling
environment, a pin must be removed. The table and diagram below indicate which
pins to cut, and their locations on the connector.
2. Check that you have an available PC/104
-Plus
connector on the motherboard, or
verify that your existing stack can support another board.
3. Remove the anchoring screws from the stack; do not discard them since you will
need them to fasten the Matrox Meteor-II board.
4. If you have existing PC/104 boards in your computer, remove them and stack
them on the PC/104
-Plus
board. PC/104 boards must be stacked last.
