Connecting your TripleHead2Go Digital
SE product
This section describes how to connect up to three digital (DVI-D) monitors to your Matrox product.
To connect three monitors,
see “Connecting three monitors”, page 34
.
To connect two monitors,
see “Connecting two monitors”, page 37
.
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 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 Matrox product,
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 (
).
