This guide assumes you’re familiar with basic functions like click, right-click and double-click,

and that you’re familiar with the basics of the operating system you’re using. Also, we use the

following conventions:

Bold for text that appears on-screen, subheadings and labels.

Italics for file names, paths, publication titles, and new terms.

Bold Italics for emphasis.

Keyboard keys in square brackets, with a plus sign separating keys that you press

simultaneously. For example: press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] to restart your computer.

Arrows (“”) to separate ordered directions. For example, “click OK Close OK” is the

same as “click OK, then click Close, then click OK”.

Matrox Productiva G100 Multi-Monitor Series – User Guide 5

Overview

Thank you for purchasing a Productiva G100 MMS (Multi-Monitor Series) graphics card. Your

Matrox MMS card is a high-performance graphics card that plugs into an expansion slot inside

your personal computer. This card lets you use 2 or 4 monitors at a time with Windows 98, NT 4.0

or NT 3.51.

The Matrox graphics engine gives you superior performance with Windows, digital video and 3D

graphics. To accelerate 3D programs, your Matrox card uses bus mastering and has hardware-

accelerated features, including texture mapping, Gouraud shading and Z-buffering.

Your Matrox graphics card is 100% VGA compatible and supports all VESA standards: VBE 2.0

(Super VGA modes), DPMS (energy saving), and DDC-2B (Plug-and-Play monitor).

Also, you can upgrade your Matrox card with hardware add-ons. For a list of available upgrades,

see “Hardware information”, page 44. For more information on available upgrades, see the Matrox

Web site (www.matrox.com/mga).

Hardware installation

1Switch to the standard VGA display driver

If you’re running Windows 98 on your computer, this step isn’t necessary. If you’re using

another operating system (for example, Windows NT 4.0), see its documentation for how to

switch to VGA mode.

2Open your computer and remove

your existing graphics card

aTurn off your computer and all

peripherals such as your monitor or

printer.

bOpen the computer and remove your

existing graphics card. (If you have a

display adapter built into your computer

motherboard, it should automatically

disable itself after your Matrox card is

installed.)

WARNING: Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Before touching any

electronic parts, drain the static electricity from your body. You can do this by touching the

metal frame of your computer. When handling a card, hold it by its edges, and avoid touching

its circuitry.

3Choose an expansion slot

aMost computers have different types of

expansion slots. Choose a PCI slot for

your graphics card. Your system manual

should identify the location of each type

of expansion slot in your computer.

bRemove the cover for the slot you intend

to use (if it’s not already removed). Save

the screw for the mounting bracket. (If

another slot is uncovered, you can seal it

with the cover you just removed.)

4Insert your Matrox card

aPosition your Matrox card over the

expansion slot you’ve chosen, then push

the card in firmly and evenly until it’s fully

seated.

bReplace the screw to secure the bracket of

your Matrox card to the computer frame.

WARNING: Inserting your Matrox card into

the wrong type of slot could damage your

card, your computer, or both.
