Matrox Display Wall – User Guide 7
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.
8 Matrox Display Wall – User Guide
Don’t defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug doesn’t fit into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace
the obsolete outlet.
Make sure that nothing rests on the power cables and that the cables aren’t located where
they can be stepped on, pinched, or tripped over.
Don’t use damaged power cables.
Unplug your system or device during lightning storms or if unused for long periods of
time.
If your product includes laser-based technology
The device contains a Class 1 laser product for use only under the recommended
operating conditions and guidelines. For more information, see your Matrox user guide.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Don’t
stare into beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Only use optical transceivers originally supplied with the product or use a replacement
that’s approved by Matrox.
For more information on laser support and compliance, see your Matrox user guide.
If your product includes a battery
The battery is non replaceable.
To dispose of your product, see www.matrox.com/environment/weee.
Repair
Don’t attempt to open or repair a power supply unit (if one was supplied).
Don’t attempt to open or repair your Matrox product.
If there’s a fault with your Matrox product, review your Matrox warranty for more
information.
Matrox Display Wall – User Guide 9
Before you begin
To avoid personal injury and to prevent damage to your system or Matrox hardware, read the
following guidelines before installing your Matrox hardware.
Using a validated platform
For detailed information on how to install your Matrox Mura card in a validated systems,
see the Matrox System Builder’s Guide (www.matrox.com/mura/support
).
For information on validated systems, motherboards, and chassis models, contact your

).
Preventing damage to your hardware
When installing your hardware
Always turn off your system, unplug it, then wait for it to cool before touching any of the
internal parts of your system or installing your Matrox product.
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.
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 system).
When handling a card, carefully hold it by its edges and avoid touching its circuitry.
Always try to insert or remove your card as straight as possible.
When connecting your hardware
Whenever you change your connection setup, make sure you’re using the correct
connectors and that all connectors are properly fastened.
Don’t change connections while your system is turned on. Before changing connections,
make sure your system is shut down and turned off.
Whenever you restart your system, make sure your monitors are already turned on.
Otherwise, the software may not be able to properly detect your monitors.
When connecting devices, make sure the connectors are properly fastened.

your cards are used. Setting the DIP
switches is useful if you’re setting up a large
display wall layout that uses multiple cards.
Ordering the output connectors enables
PowerDesk software to properly lay out the
outputs of your display wall and avoids you
having to manually set up your multi-
display layout.
For example, setting the first card to
0
means that card will be the first one used,
and the first GPU of that card will be
identified by PowerDesk as
A
.
To set the DIP switches on your cards, use
the tip of a pen or pencil to flip the switch
on or off. We recommend setting your card
order as follows, starting with card
0
.
*
* The DIP switches use binary counting to set the card order.

Setting the order of your output connectors
Monitors are numbered consecutively based on which
connector each is attached to. For example, on an Mura
MPX Series output card using a quad-monitor cable, the
monitor attached to the connector labeled
1
on the cable is
identified as
1
, the monitor attached to the connector
labeled
2
on the cable is identified as
2
, and so on.
To facilitate the setup of your multi-display layout, we
recommend connecting your monitors consecutively and arranging your monitors in pairs.
Using PowerDesk to manage your multi-display layout
In a multi-card setup using Matrox Mura MPX Series cards, PowerDesk assigns letters
to the GPU and numbers to the outputs associated with that GPU.
In the examples below, the order of the first card (4 outputs) is set as
0
, so its GPUs are identified as
A
and
B
. The four monitors connected to the first card are then identified as
A1
,
A2
,
B1
, and
B2
, which
correspond to the monitors attached to connectors labeled respectively
1
,
2
,
3
, and
4
on your KX20 to
quad-DVI cable.
Using a multi-display layout with an even number of columns
This multi-display layout shows a 6
×
4 display wall. In this case, monitors are paired and follow each
other sequentially from left to right (for example,
A1
,
A2
,
B1
,
B2
,
C1
,
C2
, and so on).

Matrox Mura Display Wall – User Guide 19
Using a multi-display layout with an uneven number of columns
This multi-display layout shows a 5
×
5 display wall. In this case, monitors are paired but don’t follow
each other sequentially from left to right. In this case, the GPUs associated with the last card (
K1
,
K2
,
L1
,
L2
,
M1
) are placed in the last column of the layout.
Depending on your installation and connection, you may need to manually rearrange the outputs of
your multi-display layout in PowerDesk to match the physical layout of your display wall.
For more information on setting up multiple displays, see “Configuring your display wall layout”,
page 52.
After planning your output layout, you’re ready to install your cards (see “Installing your Matrox
cards”, page 22).
Planning the output layout of C-Series cards
Using PowerDesk to manage your multi-display layout
In a multi-card setup, PowerDesk assigns letters to the GPU and numbers to the outputs
associated with that GPU. Each card is identified with a unique GPU. C900 cards have
three (3) outputs (
1
,
2
, or
3
) using one or three connectors each. Output
1
uses
connectors
1
,
2
, and
3
. Output
2
uses connectors
4
,
5
, and
6
. Output
3
uses connectors
7
,
8
, and
9
.
C680 cards have six (6) outputs with a single connector each.
20 Matrox Mura Display Wall – User Guide
For example, this multi-display layout shows a 5
×
3 display wall on a C-Series based controller with
one (1) C900 card and one (1) C680 card. On C900, each output uses three (3) monitors left to right
and each output is placed one over another to create the 3 × 3 section on the left of the display wall.
On C680, each output uses a single monitor to fill in the 2 × 3 section on the right.
Planning the input of Mura MPX Series and Mura IPX Series
capture cards
Mura MPX Series
*
and Mura IPX Series capture cards have input connectors. These input connectors
are numbered according to the following guidelines:
Cards are ordered in groups based on their order on the PCI bus. These groups are:
1
Mura MPX-4/4, MPX-4/2, and MPX-SDI.
You can specify the order of the cards in this group through DIP switches.
2
Mura MPX-V16 and MPX-V8.
3
Mura IPX Series capture cards.
You can specify the order of the cards in this group through DIP switches.
Inputs are then ordered according to the order of the connectors on the card.
* Except Mura MPX-4/0.
