Insert your Matrox card
Remove the cover for the slot you intend to use.
Save the screw for the mounting bracket.
Position your Matrox card over the expansion
slot you’ve chosen. Push the card in firmly and
evenly until it’s fully seated in the slot. Replace
the screw to secure the bracket of your Matrox
card to the computer frame.

Connect the monitor
Simply plug your monitor cable into the monitor connector on
your Matrox card. Make sure the other end of the monitor cable is
properly connected to your monitor. See your monitor manual for
more information.

Restart your computer

Install the software
If you’re using Windows 95, it detects new hardware when you restart. If Matrox display drivers
haven’t been previously installed, Windows 95 reports finding a PCI adapter (even if you have an
AGP card).
 If you see the New Hardware Found dialog box, click “Do not install a driver”, then OK.*
 If you see the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog box, click Next, then Finish.
At this point, Windows is using a display driver that doesn’t fully support your Matrox graphics
card. To install Matrox display drivers and other software, see “Software installation”, page 7.
If you’re using Windows NT 4.0, see “Software installation”, page 7.
* If you prefer, you can select “
Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer
” to install the Matrox display
drivers from the root folder of the “Matrox Installation” CD-ROM.
