Hardware installation

This section describes how to install your Matrox card. For information specific to your computer,

like how to remove its cover, see your system manual.

1Open your computer and

remove your existing graphics

card*

If a graphics card

isn’t

already installed in

your computer, skip to step 2.

Using

Add/Remove Programs

(Windows XP) or

Programs and

Features

(Windows Vista) in the

Windows

Control Panel

, remove any

currently installed display drivers.

Restart your computer for the changes

to take effect.

WARN I NG:

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:

Most Matrox low-profile graphics cards ship with standard (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.

* With multi-display mode, you may be able to use your existing graphics card. For Windows 2000/XP, see Windows 2000/XP

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

Matrox M-Series – User Guide 5

After your computer restarts, you’re prompted to install drivers for the new graphics

hardware detected. Click

Cancel

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

Open the computer and remove your existing graphics card (if any). (If graphics

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

manually. For more information, see your system manual.)

2Choose an expansion slot

Most computers have different types of

expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express

(PCIe)

16 or

1 slot depending on the

type of card. Your system manual should

identify the location of each type of

expansion slot in your computer.

Note:

We recommend using a PCIe

slot with 16 lane support. If your system

has multiple PCIe

16 slots, your choice

of PCIe slots may affect your card or

system performance. For more

information, see your computer manual.

Matrox M-Series – User Guide 7

For M9140 – Secure the bracket to your graphics card

After you install your Matrox

graphics card in your computer,

but before you connect the

quad-monitor cable, properly

secure the large washer to the

metal frame of your computer.

To secure the washer, slip it over

the monitor connector, then

screw the washer onto the

bracket of your graphics card.

Make sure the washer lies flat

against the frame of your

computer.

WARN I NG:

To support the weight of your quad-monitor cable and avoid damaging your graphics

card, you need to secure the bracket of your graphics card to your computer.

Note:

Two washers are provided with your Matrox product. Use the small washer if the large

washer doesn’t fit on the frame of your computer.

Standard (ATX) connection setup

This section describes how to connect your monitors to a standard (ATX) Matrox graphics card.

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.

WARN I NG:

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.

Some

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.

Whenever you restart your computer, make sure your monitors are already turned on.

Otherwise, the software may not be able to properly detect your monitors.
