16 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Mass storage
A mass storage device, such as a hard disk drive, can be connected to the internal
SATA 7-pin connector, the mini-SATA (mSATA) connector, or the mini PCIe
connector. Matrox 4Sight GPm is shipped with an mSATA-connected solid state
drive (SSD). The size of the SSD is subject to change without notice, and differs
by product. Matrox 4Sight GPm only supplies 5 V of power to its SATA power
connector. Therefore, storage devices requiring a 12 V supply are not supported.
❖ Note that a mini PCIe board and an mSATA board will fit in each other's
connector; but will only work if they are in their own connector.
Chassis
The Matrox 4Sight GPm chassis encloses the Matrox 4Sight GPm motherboard,
a SATA-connected storage solution, SO-DIMM memory modules. Mounting
points on the chassis allow the unit to be secured to other equipment.
Operating system
The Matrox 4Sight GPm unit uses Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard
(WES) 7 (64-bit version). Both the 64-bit and 32-bit WES 7 recovery OS images
are included.
❖ Note that if you try using any other operating system, there might be driver issues
(for example, driver issues with USB devices). Refer to the documentation
accompanying the operating system for more information.
Matrox Electronic Systems designed the Matrox 4Sight GPm unit for a specific
use (such as, creating and installing software to process images). You may only use
the operating system and associated software on the unit for that use.
You may use other programs with the operating system as long as the other
programs:
• directly support the manufacturer's specific use for the device, or
• provide system utilities, resource management, or anti-virus or similar protection.
