Unlike generic NICs, Matrox Concord G-series with MIL does not require manually adjusting advanced driver properties. Through MIL, the Matrox Concord G-series boards are optimally configured to minimize GigE Vision 1. Refer to MIL documenation for the number of cameras from which Matrox Concord can simultaneously capture video. -

In addition to being pre-licensed for use with the MIL drivers for GigE Vision and IEEE 1394 IIDC, the Matrox Concord boards can act as a fingerprint for licensing supplemental MIL functionality. The boards can also store a supplemental MIL license, which facilitates the process of moving to a new computer. -
Page 9: Essentials To Get Started
To use Matrox Concord, you must have a computer with at least the following: • For Matrox Concord GX and FX, an available 3.3 V or 5 V, half-length PCI/PCI-X slot. For Matrox Concord GE and FE, an available PCIe slot. -
Page 10: Inspecting The Matrox Concord Package
10 Chapter 1: Introduction Inspecting the Matrox Concord package When you unpack your Matrox Concord package, you should check its contents. Note that optional parts might or might not be included, depending on what you ordered. If something is missing or damaged, contact your Matrox representative. -
Page 11: Handling Components
Installation Handling components The electronic circuits in your computer and the circuits on the Matrox Concord board are sensitive to static electricity and surges. Improper handling can seriously damage the circuits. Be sure to follow these precautions: • Drain static electricity from your body by touching a metal fixture (or ground) before you touch any electronic component. - Page 12 12 Chapter 1: Introduction...

4. Check that you have an empty slot that can accommodate your Matrox Concord board. Matrox Concord FE and GE need at a x1 PCIe slot or better; Matrox Concord FX and GX need a conventional 32-bit PCI slot or better (for example, a 64-bit PCI or PCI-X slot). - Page 15 Keep the removed screw; you will need it to fasten the Matrox Concord board. 6. For Matrox Concord F-series, if your cameras will draw more than .5 A total (4W) over the three 1394b connectors of the board combined, you should attach a power cable to the board, as described in the Using the power connector section section.

Page 16: Using The Power Connector
Concord F-series, do the following: 1. If the cable attached to the power supply of your computer has LP4 connectors, find an available connector to which you can connect the Matrox Concord F-series board. If the cable attached to the power supply of your computer has SATA connectors, attach an SATA-female-to-LP4-female power adapter cable to an available SATA connector. - Page 17 Using the power connector 2. Attach the LP4 connector of your power supply cable or your SATA-female-to-LP4-female power adapter cable to Matrox Concord F-series’s internal power supply connector. The LP4 connectors on the cable and on Matrox Concord F-series are polarised so that they cannot be connected incorrectly; they lock into position using a latch.
