4. Insert the radial-aerator into the PCIe slot number 7 from the top.
IMPORTANT! The Matrox video boards can reach very high temperatures
when in operation. If a Xmio.2 board is used, a radial-aerator must be
installed. If a Xmio.2 Plus board is used a radial-aerator can not, phiscally,
be installed. In this case the chassis fan speed (in BIOS) must be set to
maximum to achive sufficent cooling.
5. Optional: Insert the Audio-extension Card into the PCIe2 slot number 1 from the
top.
6. Optional: Insert the extra slot panel for the X.mio2/44 board in any of the vacant
slots, and connect it to the X.mio2 board.
7. Tidy up all cables and close the computer’s casing.
Once the machine is powered up you may verify that the Matrox X.mio board has been
correctly installed by looking for the blue OB -light on the (top) backside of the slot
panel. A lit light indicates that the board is correctly supplied with power.

3. Insert the stronger graphics card in PCIe2 slot number 5 from the top.
4. Insert the Matrox video board in the PCIe2 slot number 4 from the top.
5. Insert the radial-aerator into the PCIe slot number 3 from the top.
• A radial-aerator is mandatory as the video board reaches high temperatures
during operation.
6. Optional: Insert the Audio-extension Card into the PCIe2 slot number 1 from the
top.
7. Tidy up all cables and close the computer’s casing.
8. Connect the computer’s monitor to the graphics card in slot 2 from the top.
9. Start the machine and in the BIOS (Advanced: Thermal – Full Fan speed) set all
