• If you cannot stack your PC/104-
Plus
board, check the connectors of the last board
in the stack and determine if any of its PCI connector’s holes are filled. If this is
the case, cut the corresponding pins on your board. See the section,
Installing
Matrox Meteor-II /Standard for PC/104-Plus
in Chapter 2.
• If your computer has PC/104 modules, you must re-stack them so the PC/104
modules are on top of PC/104-

boards. Be sure to reset the rotary switches for
your new stack configuration.
