Adding boards to the Matrox Supersight e2 unit
When adding PCIe boards and Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 boards to your unit,
the following critical points should be considered:
• Your first SHB must be installed in SHB connector 1.
• Some connectors on the backplane will be blocked by the installation of an SHB
since Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 takes up two slots and partially blocks a third
slot. This partially blocked third slot can still be used, but only by short (1/2
length) PCIe boards or auxiliary I/O adapter brackets.
