Matrox Mura MPX Series – System Builder’s Guide 55
By providing less margin than specified above, the power supply will be used under higher load
conditions, which may lead to excess heat generation within the power supply and premature wear-
out of electronic components. Insufficient margin may also compromise the overall reliability of the
product.
For a common Mura MPX setup that supports up to seven Mura cards and uses a mid-range Intel
CPU, we recommend a minimum power supply of 800W. For larger systems, the power supply must
be increased accordingly, taking into account the requirements of the CPU or SHB and
backplane/motherboard components.
Note: The margin provided on the power supply must never be less than 35-40%.
