Installing Matrox Meteor-II /Digital

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.

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. If you plan to use the RS-232 input connector or the trigger

connector, check that you have two adjacent empty PCI slots

to accommodate the board and the adapter bracket (one slot

is enough if you do not need to use the adapter bracket). If

you do not have empty slots, remove a PCI board(s) from

your computer to make room for your Matrox Meteor-II

board, and take note of the slot number(s) you choose.
