Matrox G450 MMS – User Guide 7
2 Connect your monitors
Connect your preferred monitor to the main
DVI connector of your multi-monitor cable.
If your monitor has a DVI connector, connect it
directly to the main DVI connector of your
multi-monitor cable.
If your monitor has an HD-15 connector, use
the DVI-to-HD15 adapter included with your
product to connect your monitor to the main
connector. Make sure the connectors are
properly fastened.
Your Matrox card is now installed. Restart your computer and install your Matrox software
(see “Software installation”, page 8).

Note: Monitors are numbered consecutively based
on which connector each is attached to.
Numbering starts with the primary display – the
one that first displays information when you
restart your computer. If another graphics card is
installed in your computer, display numbering
may be different.
Note: To con n e c t a digital monitor (a
monitor that uses digital input, usually a
flat panel monitor) to your Matrox
product, your monitor must have a DVI
connector.
Some monitors with DVI connectors
support both digital and analog input. If
you’re using one of these monitors with
your Matrox product, make sure it’s configured to use the correct type of input. For more
information, see your monitor documentation.
