Installation overview
Note: If your Matrox product is already partially or fully installed on your computer, some or all the installation information in this guide may not apply to you. However, this information may be useful if you need to reinstall your Matrox product.
To install your Matrox product:
1 Install your Matrox graphics hardware – see page 8.
2 Connect your monitors – see page 13.
3 Install your Matrox software – see page 16.
Installing your graphics hardware
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.
i
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 ATX bracket on your graphics card to a low-profile bracket. For more information, “Replacing brackets on your graphics card”, page 10.
Before you begin
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your computer or Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines before installing your Matrox graphics hardware.
Preventing damage to your graphics hardware
■ Always turn off your computer, unplug it, then wait for it to cool before touching any of the internal parts of your computer or installing your Matrox product.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Always try to insert or remove your card as straight as possible.
- Don't operate your system near a heat source or restrict airflow to your system, and make sure the ambient temperature doesn't exceed the maximum recommended temperatures.
■ C420 only – To maintain adequate airflow for your Matrox C420 product, we strongly recommend running the internal system fan at medium speed, instead of the default low or automatic. Because the internal system temperature is normally read from the CPU (and the system airflow is optimized for the CPU), the temperature near the add-in cards may not be properly controlled.
Step-by-step installation
1 Open your computer and remove your existing graphics card
If a graphics card isn't already installed in your computer, skip to step 2.
If a graphics card is already installed in your computer:
a Using Programs and Features in Windows, remove any currently installed display drivers. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
b Turn off your computer and all peripherals such as your monitor or printer.
c 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.)
2 Choose an expansion slot
Most computers have different types of expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express (PCIe) ×16 slot depending on the type of card you have. Your system manual should identify the location of each type of expansion slot in your computer.
Note: We recommend using a PCIe ×16 slot with 16 lane support. If your system has multiple PCIe ×16 slots, your choice of PCIe slot may affect your card or system performance. For more information, see your computer manual.
WARNING: Inserting your Matrox card into the wrong type of slot could damage your card, your computer, or both.
