Installation and operation

Read and retain all instructions. Only use your Matrox product according to the

instructions, operating ranges, and guidelines provided in the Matrox user guide and
other related Matrox documentation. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
damage to your product or injury to the user or installer.
 Don't expose your Matrox product to rain, water, condensation, or moisture.
 Your Matrox product (card or unit) can become hot while operating. Always
turn off your computer, unplug it, then wait for it to cool before touching any
of the internal parts of your computer or installing your Matrox card. Allow
hot surfaces to cool before touching your Matrox unit.
 Static electricity can severely damage electronic parts. Before touching any electronic
parts, drain static electricity from your body (for example, by touching the metal frame
of your computer).
 When handling a card, carefully hold it by its edges and avoid touching its circuitry.
 Don't stack devices or place devices so close together that they're subject to recirculated
or preheated air.
 Don't operate your system or Matrox product near a heat source or restrict airflow to
your system, and make sure the ambient temperature doesn't exceed the maximum
recommended temperatures. Don't block ventilation holes on your unit or system.
If a power supply (internal or external) was included with your
product
Don't place the external power supply directly on top of the device.

 Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or use a replacement that's
approved by Matrox. Don't use the power supply if it appears to be defective or has a
damaged chassis.
