Standard-Profile Bracket Layout

Grablink Base has two types of bracket, a mounted standard-profile bracket and an extra low-profile bracket.

The standard-profile board can be plugged into a slot of a standard-profile chassis having a PCI Express x1, x4, x8, or x16 connector.

Low-Profile Bracket Layout

The low-profile bracket enables you to fit Grablink Base into a low-profile PCI slot.

The low-profile board can be plugged into a slot of a low-profile chassis having a PCI Express x1, x4, x8, or x16 connector.

In order to install the low-profile bracket, remove the original standard-profile bracket by using a flat screwdriver, and re-install the screw locks of the Camera Link connector.
