Connect the external power supply to your
X.effects card
If you’re using the external power supply for your X.effects card, a 12-volt DC
external power supply is included with your Matrox Axio kit.
1 Connect the male connector of your external power supply to the female
power connector of your X.effects card.
2 Attach an AC outlet cord to the external power supply and plug the cord into
an AC outlet (this cord is not supplied with Matrox Axio).
¡ Importan t You must plug your external power supply cord into an AC
wall outlet. If your computer’s power supply has an external power
connector, you must not use this connector for your X.effect card’s external
power supply.
When you’ve completed the installation of your Axio hardware and turned on
your computer, an LED display on the backplate of your X.effects card will light
up, indicating that the external power supply is properly connected.
Before restarting your computer
You must connect your external devices such as X.link breakout box, VTRs, DV
camcorder, etc., before attempting to restart your computer. For details about
these tasks, see Chapter 3, “Connecting External Devices to Matrox Axio HD
and SD.”
