18 Chapter 2: Hardware installation
Installing your Matrox RadientPro CL board
Before you install your Matrox RadientPro CL board, some precautionary
measures must be taken. Turn off the power to your computer and its peripherals,
and drain static electricity from your body (by touching a metal part of the
computer chassis).
Important
❖
Note that your board should be installed before you install your software.
Proceed with the following steps to install your board:
1. Remove the cover from your computer; refer to your computer’s documentation
for instructions.
2. Check that you have an empty x8 (or x16) PCIe 1.x or 2.x slot in which to install
your Matrox RadientPro CL
*
. Note that a PCIe 2.x slot will ensure the fastest
possible transfer of data to the Host.
*. Note that you can also install Matrox RadientPro CL in a x4 PCIe slot that has a
mechanical x8 connector; however, the maximum transfer rate between
Matrox RadientPro CL and the Host is reduced by 50%.
