Matrox graphics card – User Guide

Step-by-step connection setup
1
Connect the first monitor
Connect your preferred monitor to the main
connector (
A
) on your Matrox graphics
card.
If your monitor has a DVI connector,
connect it directly to the main connector of
your graphics card.
If your monitor has an HD-15 connector,
use the DVI-to-HD15 adapter included with
your Matrox product to connect your
monitor to the main connector.
2
Connect the second monitor
If your second monitor uses a DVI
connector, connect it directly to the
secondary connector (
B
) of your graphics
card.
If your second monitor uses an HD-15
connector, you can use a dual-monitor cable
(included with certain Matrox products) or
a DVI-to-HD15 adapter. To use 3 monitors
at a time, a dual-monitor cable is required.
WARNING:
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:
If you want to use 3 monitors at a
time and one of these needs to use a DVI
connector, that monitor must be
connected to the main connector.
