Custom chassis
The Matrox 4Sight X motherboard complies with the EBX form factor, 8" x 5¾"
(20.32 cm x 14.61 cm).
Make sure your custom chassis provides clearance for all motherboard
components, particularly the DDR2 SDRAM module(s) and any PCI-104 or

near the fan and the processor.
To avoid injury, be careful of sharp corners and rough edges when mounting the
chassis.
