Installing Matrox Meteor-II
Before you install your board, some precautionary measures
must be taken. Turn off 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,
CompactPCI, 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.
Installing Matrox Meteor-II for PCI
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. Check that you have an empty PCI (32-bit) slot that can
accommodate the board. If you do not have an empty slot,
remove a PCI board from your computer to make room for
your Matrox Meteor-II board and take note of the slot
number you choose.
