WA R N I N G :

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.

Note:

Matrox low-profile graphics cards ship with ATX brackets compatible with most

systems. If you have a low-profile system, you may need to change the standard bracket on

your graphics card to a low-profile bracket. For more information, see “Replacing brackets

on a low-profile graphics card”, page 6.

Note: Server only

- If you’re not installing a Matrox graphics card on your server, skip to

“Server-side software setup”, page 12.
