Matrox Graphics Card – User Guide 9
Analog dual-monitor cable – If you’re using
an
analog dual-monitor cable (a cable with
HD-15 connectors), you can only connect
analog monitors. Connect your cable to
your card and to your analog monitor
cables. If you’re connecting only one
monitor, use the main connector (labeled
1
or
1/3 ) of your dual-monitor cable.
Digital dual-monitor cable – If you’re using
a
digital dual-monitor cable
*
(a cable with
DVI connectors), you can connect analog
and digital monitors. Attach your Matrox
dual-monitor cable to the connector on the
bracket of your Matrox card.
If your monitor has a DVI connector,
connect it directly to the main DVI
connector (
1/3 ) of your dual-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.
If you’re connecting only one monitor, use
the main connector (labeled
1 or 1/3 ) of
your dual-monitor cable.
WA R N I NG : To avoid damaging the LFH-60
connector on your dual-monitor cable or on your
graphics card, carefully insert the connector on your
dual-monitor cable as straight as possible into the
connector on your graphics card. Specifically,
inserting the connectors into each other at an angle is
likely to bend and damage the pins on the connector
of the dual-monitor cable.
