Overview; Removing The Chassis Cover - Matrox Supersight Installation And Hardware Reference

34 Chapter 3: Connecting devices to the backplane and to the Matrox Supersight SHB board
Important

Overview

The Matrox Supersight unit is designed to accommodate hardware additions. The
unit has internal connectors for SHBs, PCIe boards, USB devices, memory
modules, fans, and mass storage devices.
The first step in making internal hardware additions involves removing the chassis
*
cover. If you remove the chassis cover, you will have access to all the connectors
located on the backplane and the SHB(s). To install an SHB or PCIe board, you
will then have to remove the retainer guide (which holds the boards in place).
❖ Note that, for some hardware additions, you might need to uninstall the drive tray.

Removing the chassis cover

To remove the chassis cover, perform the following:
1. Power down each Matrox Supersight SHB and turn off the Matrox Supersight
unit. See Chapter 1: Turning off the Matrox Supersight unit for more information.
2. Unplug all Matrox Supersight power cords.
3. Remove the 2 screws from the back of the Matrox Supersight unit's top panel, and
the 1 screw on the top front of the panel (see the following illustration).
*. Be sure to always operate the unit with the cover on. This ensures that the fan prop-
erly removes any heat accumulating in the heat sinks.
