Adding boards to the Matrox Supersight e2 unit
When adding PCIe boards and Matrox Supersight SHB boards to your unit, the
following critical points should be considered:
• Your first SHB must be installed in SHB connector 1.
• Some connectors on the backplane will be blocked by the installation of an SHB.
Matrox Supersight SHB-Q170 takes one slot and partially blocks a second. This
partially blocked slot can still be used, but only by short (1/2 length) PCIe boards
or auxiliary I/O adapter brackets (but still can be partially obstructed).
Is the PCIe connector blocked?
