Connecting your DualHead2Go
Digital ME product
This section describes how to connect two (2) digital (DVI-D) monitors to your Matrox product.
Before you begin
To avoid possible problems that could damage your monitors or prevent you from using your Matrox
product, read the following guidelines before connecting your Matrox product.
Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct
connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.
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.
To get the most out of your Matrox product, we recommend you use two (2) identical
monitors (that is, monitors that support the same settings such as display resolution and
refresh rate). For information on the settings your monitor supports, see your monitor
documentation.
WARNING:
To avoid damaging the
DisplayPort connector on your DisplayPort
monitor cable or on your graphics
hardware, carefully remove the DisplayPort
cable by pressing the latch on the top of the
DisplayPort connector while removing the
connector.
Note:
To purchase any Matrox cables or adapters not included with your product, see the
Matrox online store (
). To purchase any optional Apple cables or
adapters, see your Apple retailer.
