Synchronization of more than one iba board

9.1

Important information

Important information!
A bad or missing sync-connection may lead to inconsistent data blocks. This would affect
the data integrity and data correlation!
Each board is delivered with a synchronization cable (sync cable) for connecting up to 6
boards. Unused plugs of the cable can left unconnected and must not be terminated.
If you plug in or unplug PCI/PCIe boards this may change the PCI/PCIe configuration of
the PC. This can affect the signal or I/O configuration of the system because the ID of
the boards may change.
In that case move the fiber optic cables to the correct board.
Always save your system configuration before changing hardware components.
