18 Chapter 1: Introduction
Essentials to get started
To begin using Matrox Solios eV-CL, you must have a computer with the
following:
• An available conventional x4 (or better) PCIe slot.
• Processor with an Intel 32-bit architecture (IA32) or equivalent.
• A relatively up-to-date PCIe chipset. The list of platforms that are known to be
compatible with Matrox Solios eV-CL are available on the Matrox website, under
the board’s PC compatibility list.
• MIL or one of its derivatives. This software should be installed after you install
your board.
Consult your software package for other computer requirements (for example,
operating system and memory requirements).
