This section describes how to install your Matrox card. If your Matrox card is already installed in your

computer, skip to “Connection setup”, page 8. For information specific to your computer, like how to

remove its cover, see your system manual.

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

hardware is built into the motherboard of your computer, this graphics hardware should

automatically disable itself after your Matrox card is installed. For more information, see

your system manual.)

WA R N I N G :

To avoid personal injury, turn off your computer, unplug it, and then wait for

it to cool before you touch any of its internal parts. 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:

Most 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 7.

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

under “Install additional monitors”.
