Matrox User Guide 5

Installing your Matrox SMD-2 hardware

This section describes how to install your Matrox SMD-2 card. For information specific to your

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

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 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.

Step-by-step installation

1Open your computer

Turn off your computer and open it.

Note:

Before installing your Matrox SMD-2 card(s), make sure you have enough power in

your system to properly run the SMD-2 card. We recommend using a separate system for

the SMD-2 card(s). For more information, see “Product information”, page 8.

2Choose an expansion slot

Most computers have different types of

expansion slots. Choose a PCI™ slot for

your Matrox card. Your card supports both

64-bit and 32-bit PCI slots. Your system

manual should identify the location of each

type of expansion slot in your computer.

3Insert your Matrox card

Position your Matrox card over the

expansion slot you’ve chosen.

Push the card in firmly and evenly until

it’s fully seated in the slot.

Secure the bracket of your Matrox card

to the computer frame.

4Connect the power supply

Connect the +12V AUX connector to the

connector on the SMD-2 card.

If you don’t have a +12V AUX connector

you’ll need a PCI express video card power

adapter cable (sold separately).

Updating your firmware

After installing your SMD-2 hardware, make sure you’re using the latest firmware package for your

SMD-2 product. If you need to install the latest firmware package for your SMD-2 product, use the

Matrox Appliance Configuration Utility

. For more information, see the help file for your Matrox

Appliance Configuration Utility. For the latest firmware package for your SMD-2 product, contact

your Matrox representative.

Your Matrox card is now installed. For information on connecting other Matrox hardware to your

SMD-2 product, see the user guide for that hardware.
