Installing Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel

Before you install your board, some precautionary measures must be taken. Turn
off the power to the computer and its peripherals, and drain static electricity from
your body (by touching a metal part of the computer chassis). Next, follow the
steps to install your board according to its form factor: PCI or PC/104-Plus.
❖ If you are not using Windows NT as your operating system, your board must be
installed before you install the software (either MIL or one of its derivatives). If
you are adding another Matrox Meteor-II to your computer, you will have to
re-install your software after installing your board.

Installing Matrox Meteor-II /Multi-Channel for PCI

Use the following steps to install your Matrox Meteor-II board for PCI:
1. Remove the cover from your computer using the instructions from your computer
manual.
2. Check that you have an empty PCI (32-bit) slot that can accommodate the board.
If you do not have an empty slot, remove a PCI board from your computer to
make room for your Matrox Meteor-II board and take note of the slot number
you choose.
