Board Locator Guide
The ASPB may be installed in any open motherboard slot location from J5 to J15.
However, you may chose to move existing boards for some reason, such as, to
improve cable dress. If you move any circuit boards, remember that some boards
must occupy specific slots, while others can be installed in almost any slot as long
as their I/O requirements are met.
This guide provides a general approach to board location. It explains the
relationship between the motherboard slots and video router connectors and
provides tables and charts to assist you in installing boards.
Video Router to Motherboard Relationship
The video router provides and controls video data to twelve connectors on the
motherboard. These video data connectors are aligned with the main motherboard
connectors for slots J5 through J16. Since the Reference Genlock (Ref Gen) board
must occupy J16 to provide the necessary system clocks, this discussion excludes
J16.
When choosing a slot for a board, the major constraint for a slot is how the board
connects to the video router. Not all boards require the same number of video I/O
connections, and not all video data connectors provide the same number of video
I/O connections. Therefore, you must know how many input and output
connections the board needs, if any, and the slots available that meet those needs.
Table 17 through Table 19 lists recommended slots based on product and serial
number as well as possible alternatives slots and restrictions for each board type.
If more than one slot is recommended or possible for a board, those slots are listed
in the order of preference.
