4. Position your Matrox Radient eV-CXP board in the selected PCIe slot. Align the
CoaXPress connectors with the opening at the back of the slot, and move the board
until the connectors pass through the opening.
When installing your Matrox Radient eV-CXP board in a x16 PCIe slot, special
care must be taken to avoid damaging the board. Some x16 PCIe slots have a
connector with a retainer. You should avoid touching the latch of this retainer with
the board. Alternatively, you can remove the latch from the retainer.
5. Once all four CoaXPress input connectors are in the opening in the chassis, press
the board firmly but carefully straight down into the connector of the slot.
6. Anchor the board using the screw that you removed in step 3.
7. Connect the PCIe power cable from your computer's 12 V power supply to the
PCIe auxiliary power connector on Matrox Radient eV-CXP.
❖ You only need to connect the auxiliary power if you are using PoCXP-compliant
video sources.
8. If required, install the cable adapter brackets, as described in the section Installing
the cable adapter brackets, later in this chapter.
9. Attach your video sources, as described in the section Connecting video sources,
later in this chapter.
