Installing Matrox Morphis QxT 19
If you are also installing a Matrox Morphis QxT Digital I/O module, you also
need a free bracket location at the back of the computer chassis. This bracket
location need not be adjacent to the base board. In addition, the slot associated
with the bracket location can be of any type.
If necessary, remove boards from your computer to make room for your Matrox
Morphis QxT board(s).
3. If present, remove the blank metal plate located at the back of the selected slots.
Keep the removed screws; you will need them to fasten the Matrox Morphis QxT
board and, if required, Matrox Morphis QxT Digital I/O module.
4. If Watchdog functionality is required, install the appropriate cables as described
in Installing the cables for Watchdog functionality section, later in this chapter.
5. Carefully position the Matrox Morphis QxT base board in the selected empty
PCIe slot. Once perfectly aligned with the slot’s connector, press the board firmly
but carefully into the connector. Anchor the board by replacing the screw that you
removed.
6. f required, install your Matrox Morphis QxT Digital I/O module as described in
the Installing the Matrox Morphis QxT Digital I/O module section later in this
chapter.
7. Attach your video sources as described in the Connecting devices to Matrox
Morphis QxT section later in this chapter.
8. Turn on your computer.
❖
Under Windows 2000/XP, when you boot your computer, Windows’
Plug-and-Play system will detect a new Multimedia Video Device and you will be
asked to assign it a driver. At this point, you should click on
Cancel because the
driver will be installed during the installation of Matrox Morphis QxT software.
