Chapter 8, Monitoring Your DSX System in Windows

Displaying hardware information

To display information about all of the Matrox DSX hardware installed in your
system, select

Hardware

from the

Display Information About

list. Each DSX card

is represented by a tab.

Click the card’s tab to display a page with hardware information (for example, serial
number and production date). You can also monitor the current and maximum
temperature for each hardware component.

¡ Important

Whether or not you have opened Matrox X.info, if one or more of your

DSX hardware components exceeds the maximum operating temperature, you’ll
receive a warning message with further instructions (see

“Error notification”

).
