Installing the digital video adapter board

To install the digital video adapter board:
1. Make sure that your Matrox Helios eD/XD board is fastened to the computer
chassis.
2. Then, connect the flat ribbon cable to the internal digital video input connector
of the Matrox Helios frame grabber. To do so, position the cable so that red wire
is on the same side as the bracket of the Matrox Helios eD/XD board.
With the Matrox Helios board and the cable in this position, only the connector
on one end of the cable will latch properly onto the internal digital video input
connector. The other end will not and excessive force might damage the cable
connector.
In addition, you should hear a snap when the hooks of the cable's connector latch
onto the internal digital video input connector.
3. Connect the other end of the flat ribbon cable to the internal digital video input
connector of the adapter board. Position the connectors so that their triangular
etchings face each other. The etchings indicate the location of pin 1.
4. Slide the adapter board's bracket into the opening at the back of the selected slot.
5. Anchor the adapter board's bracket to the chassis using the screw that you removed
in the first section.
