WARNING:

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 XP, see Windows online help under

“Install additional monitors”. For Windows Vista, see Windows online help under “Add a second monitor”.

hardware is built into the motherboard of your computer, you may need to disable it

Choose an expansion slot

Most computers have different types of

expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express ×16

Note:

Your Matrox dual-monitor cable supports only digital monitors. If analog monitors

are connected to the dual-monitor cable, the two displays remain blank (black).

WAR NING:

Don’t change monitor connections while your computer is turned on. While

your computer is turned on, it may be using monitor settings that are specific to the

current monitor connections.

devices may be permanently damaged if incorrect

settings are used.

Note:

Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct

connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.

Note:

To c o n n e c t a

digital

monitor (a

monitor that uses digital input, usually a

flat panel monitor) to your Matrox

product, your monitor must have a DVI

connector.

Some monitors with DVI connectors

support both digital and analog input. If

you’re using one of these monitors with

your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the correct type of input. For more

information, see your monitor documentation.
