Installing Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link

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. Note that the Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link for
PC/104-Plus is shipped pre-installed in your Matrox 4Sight-II unit. See the Matrox
4-Sight-II Installation and Hardware Reference manual for more information.
! 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 /Camera Link for PCI

Use the following steps to install your Matrox Meteor-II /Camera Link board:
1. Remove the cover from your computer using the instructions from your computer
manual.
2. If you plan to use the auxiliary sync and control 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 expanded
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.
