Installing Matrox Meteor-II 25

Caution

Some computers have a large, black-ridged heat sink that

 

prevents boards from using most PCI board slots. Your

 

Matrox Meteor-II must not touch this heat sink. Therefore,

 

choose a slot where the board completely avoids it.

3.Connect the Matrox Meteor-II MJPEG module to the board if required. See the section, Installing the Matrox Meteor-II MJPEG module.

4.If present, remove the blank metal plate located at the back of the selected slot. Keep the removed screw; you will need it to fasten the Matrox Meteor-II board.

5.Carefully position Matrox Meteor-II in the selected PCI slot as illustrated below. If you are using a tower computer, orient the board to suit the board slots in your computer.
