Install the software. Your Matrox ATC RG product supports a number of operating

systems such as Windows, Unix, and Linux. To obtain a display driver for your operating

system, contact your Matrox representative.

Note:

Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2)

– Windows may install a Matrox display driver

unsupported by your product when the hardware in your unit is detected. If you aren’t

prompted to install a display driver,

DON’T RESTART

your system. Manually install the

Hardware installation

This section describes how to install a Matrox interface card in your host computer. If your Matrox

interface card is already installed in your computer, skip to “Connection setup”, page 7. For

information specific to your computer, like how to remove its cover, see your system manual.

1Open your computer and

remove your existing graphics

card *

If a graphics card

isn’t

already installed in

your computer, skip to step 2.

Using

Add/Remove Programs

in the

Windows

Control Panel

, remove any

currently installed display drivers.

Restart your computer for the changes

to take effect.

After your computer restarts, you’re

prompted to install drivers for the new

graphics hardware detected. Click

Cancel

Turn off your computer and all peripherals such as your monitor or printer.

Open the computer and remove your existing graphics card. (If graphics hardware is

built into the motherboard of your computer, you may need to disable it manually after

WA R NI NG :

To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your computer or Matrox

hardware, turn off your computer, unplug it, and then wait for it to cool before you install

your Matrox product and touch any of the internal parts of your computer.

While your computer is turned off but still plugged in, some electrical current is supplied

to the motherboard. This current may prevent newly installed hardware from working

properly.

Also, static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Before touching any electronic

parts, drain static electricity from your body (for example, by touching the metal frame of

your computer). When handling a card, carefully hold it by its edges and avoid touching its

circuitry.

* With multi-display mode, you may be able to use your existing graphics card. For Windows 2000/XP, see Windows 2000/XP

online help under “Install additional monitors”.
