Matrox safety information
To ensure safe and reliable operation of your Matrox product, to avoid personal injury, and
to prevent damage to your computer or Matrox hardware, read the following guidelines.
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.

Installing your QuadHead2Go card
This section describes how to install your Matrox card. If your Matrox card is already installed in your
system, skip to “Connecting your QuadHead2Go Q185 card”, page 12 or “Connecting your
QuadHead2Go Q155 card”, page 15. For information specific to your system, like how to remove its
cover, see your system manual.
Before you begin
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your system or Matrox hardware, read the
following guidelines before installing and connecting your Matrox hardware.
Preventing damage to your hardware
While your system is turned off but still plugged in, some electrical current is supplied
to the motherboard. This current may prevent newly installed hardware from working
properly. Always try to insert or remove your card as straight as possible.
Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct
connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.
When connecting devices, make sure the connectors are properly fastened.
Review the safety information provided. For more information, see “Matrox safety
information”, page 5.
Step-by-step installation
1Choose an expansion slot
Most systems have different types of
expansion slots. Choose a PCI Express®
(PCIe®) slot. Your system manual should
identify the location of each type of
expansion slot in your system.

Network connector
The network connectors on your QuadHead2Go products use LEDs to
provide information on the network activity and presence. The following
describes the different network connector LEDs.
Validating network discovery
QuadHead2Go Series devices are initially assigned their IP addresses through DHCP (Dynamic Host
Control Protocol). After connecting your devices, we recommend verifying that all of your devices are
discovered by the network. For more information, contact your network administrator.
Multiple subnet support
QuadHead2Go Series devices that are in the same subnet are detected through the UPnP (Universal
Plug and Play) protocol. If your devices are in different network subnets, you need to validate network
discovery in each subnet separately. For more information on using different subnets, contact your
network administrator.
After validating your connection setup, install your software.

Running Matrox PowerWall
When PowerWall starts for the first time, a blank design is created. A design contains the devices in
your video wall and their settings. To create a design, you add and remove devices. These devices are
virtual because their settings aren't directly linked to a physical device.
To set up your display wall design:
Add or remove devices from your display wall.
Define different layouts for the outputs of your devices using the canvas and the device
output settings.
Select the input resolution of your device.
Define the network settings of your device.
Upload the configurations of the devices in your design to your physical QuadHead2Go
devices.
More information
For more information on PowerWall software, see the help file included with your PowerWall
software.
