54 Chapter 3: Connecting devices to the backplane and to the Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 board
Important
Connecting devices to the internal
connectors of the SHB
The following devices can be connected to the internal connectors of the Matrox
Supersight SHB-5520 board: mass storage devices, memory modules, and CPU
fans. Typically, a hard disk drive, memory, and two CPU fans should already be
pre-installed and connected to each SHB purchased with your unit. Unless
otherwise ordered, your unit also includes a DVD drive, which is connected to
the first SHB.

Connecting additional mass storage devices

Each SHB has three 7-pin SATA connectors; to each, you can connect a mass
storage device. In addition, the backplane provides two standard 7-pin SATA
connectors. These two connectors are routed through the backplane directly to
the first SHB (resulting in the first SHB having a maximum of five SATA
connectors, while all other SHBs have only 3).
However, there are only four bays available for 2.5" hard disk drives, and one bay
for an optical disk drive, in each Matrox Supersight unit. In addition, these bays
are not all available because, when you purchase a Matrox Supersight with one
SHB, one SATA-connected hard disk drive and one optical disk drive
(CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive) are pre-installed in your unit. Typically, each
additional SHB purchased with the unit also comes connected with its own mass
storage device. If it does not, one needs to be connected.
The voltages that can be drawn from the power supply are outlined in the Power
supply section, in Appendix B: Technical reference.
