6 Matrox Rainbow Runner Studio – Installation & User Guide

Hardware installation

This section describes how to install your Matrox Rainbow Runner Studio add-on card. To install,

you’ll need a Phillips screwdriver (star-shaped head). For information specific to your computer, like

how to remove its cover, see your system manual. If your Matrox graphics card is not already

installed in your computer, skip to step 2.

1Remove the Matrox graphics card

from your computer1

aTurn off your computer and unplug it from

its power supply.

bUnplug the monitor connection from the

back of your computer.

cRemove your computer’s cover. This

usually involves removing several screws.

dRemove the screw fastening the bracket of

the Matrox graphics card to your

computer’s rear panel.

eRemove the Matrox graphics card from

your computer. Save the card’s fastening

screw and note which slot the card was in.2

1.Some IBM computers (IBM 300 PL series) have Mystique cards built into their motherboards. A separate kit is

available to install Rainbow Runner Studio on these computers. For more information, contact your IBM dealer or

visit the Matrox Web site (www.matrox.com/mga).

2.If your Matrox graphics card has an add-on memory module attached, carefully remove it. The Rainbow Runner

Studio add-on card and the memory module can’t be attached to the Matrox graphics card at the same time because

they use the same connectors.

WARNING – Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Take these precautions:

Before touching any electronic parts, drain the static electricity from your body. You can do

this by touching the metal frame of your computer.

Don’t remove a card from the anti-static container it was shipped in until you’re ready to

install it. When you remove a card from your computer, place it back in its container.

When handling a card, hold it by its edges, and avoid touching its circuitry.

removed it from. (If you’re installing your

Matrox graphics card for the first time, see

8 Matrox Rainbow Runner Studio – Installation & User Guide

4Millennium II AGP users only:

Install the video connector bracket

(Because of space limitations, the

Millennium II AGP card doesn’t have a

connector on its bracket for Rainbow Runner

Studio. Rainbow Runner Studio for

Millennium II includes a separate video

connector bracket for AGP cards.)

aRemove the cover for any unused slot.

Save the fastening screw.

bInsert the video connector bracket in the

opening for the unused slot. Secure the

bracket with the fastening screw.

cAttach the end of the ribbon cable to the

connector on top of the Rainbow Runner

Studio card. The connectors are made so

that they only fit one way.

Your Rainbow Runner Studio add-on card is now installed. For information on how to connect it to

external devices like your VCR or video camera, see “Connection setup”.

Note (Millennium II AGP users only): Some computers have an opening in the back for

connectors the same size as the Rainbow Runner video connector. If you don’t want to use

another slot for the separate video connector bracket, you can use such an opening. To do

so, use pliers to unscrew the video connector from its bracket, then fasten it to the opening.
