2 Connect your monitors
If your monitor has a DVI connector,
connect your monitor cable directly to the
quad-monitor cable.
If your monitor has an HD-15 connector,
use a DVI to HD-15 adapter included with
your product to connect your monitor cable
to your quad-monitor cable.
Your Matrox card is now installed. Restart your computer and install your Matrox software
(see “Installing your Matrox software”, page 19).

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: If you’re using a DisplayPort monitor,
we recommend you connect your Matrox
product to the DisplayPort connector on
your monitor.
If you’re using a monitor with a DVI
connector, you need a DisplayPort to DVI adapter to connect your monitor to your Matrox
product. If this adapter wasn’t included with your Matrox product, see the Matrox online
store (http://shopmatrox.com
).
