Hardware installation
Notices
Please read the following notices before installing the graphics card:
● Make sure that the operating system is installed properly.
● Uninstall any currently installed display drivers such as Pivot.
● Log in as a user with administrative privileges to install the driver.
● Remove all currently installed old graphics cards.
● Disable the on-board graphic controller on the computer's motherboard if any. Contact
the computer manufacturer on how to disable it.
● Proper operation of this graphics card is not guaranteed when used with other graphics
cards for multi-display. If an error occurs, see Q&A in this manual.
Disconnecting the power cables
Disconnect power cables of the computer and other peripheral devices from the wall outlet.
Inserting the graphics card
1
Remove the computer cover. (See the user manual for your computer.)
Caution: ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Breakdown
Static electricity could damage delicate components of the computer and the graphics
card. Discharge static electricity prior to installation, for example, by touching metal
parts of the computer. Do not touch electric parts or terminals.
2
Remove any currently installed graphics card if any or remove a bracket from the slot.
Caution: Burn
Internal parts may be hot if the computer has been turned on previously.
3
Insert the graphics card in a
PCI
slot (see the table below) rmly and evenly. Make
sure it does not touch any internal parts of the computer.

Caution: Ventilation
Ensure the proper airow for cooling the graphics card.
Install this graphics card in the slot where ambient temperatures are 55 degrees
C or lower.
Slot: Leave the adjacent slot or slot that is close to heat producing components unoccupied if multiple slots are available to release heat around the card sufciently.
Inadequate heat release could shorten the product lifetime or cause some troubles.
Fan: Keep the computer’s internal cables away from the cooling fan, or keep things
away that could get caught in the fan. (E.g., labels are easy to come off when
- 6 -
ENGLISH
heated.) If the computer is used without the fan working, it could cause a failure.
Dust: Dust inside the computer could restrict ventilation to cool off the card and result
in failure.
Important: Our warranty may not apply to the damages arising from those facts.
4
Secure the bracket on LV32P5-M to the computer frame.
Note: When the bracket is not properly secured, the DVI cable cannot be inserted all
the way in. If necessary, use the supplied low-prole bracket.
5
When installing two LV32P5-M cards, repeat the above steps until all cards are
installed.
Note: There is a limit to the number of the cards one computer can take, which
vary according to the types of cards, operating systems, and display drivers. Do not
exceed the number limit.
6
Put the cover back on the computer.
Connecting the displays
When using LV32P5-M on i2 model LCDs (CCLxxxi2, MExxxi2, MSxxis) ...
i2 model LCDs are loaded with two sets of Extended Display Identication Data (EDID).
EDID is a data structure stored within a display describing its own information including
supporting resolution. Both landscape and portrait display modes (resolutions) are
supported but they need to be manually switched. By default, it is set to portrait. See the
display user manual for instructions.
Check the table below to nd out in what orientation the i2 model LCDs are in the table
below.
Note
The DVI cable needs to be disconnected from the display when checking the EDID.
Display mode LED behavior upon turn-on
Portrait
(Default)
The LED blinks twice.
Landscape
The LED blinks three times.
1
Connect the supplied DVI branch cable to LFH60 on the card and tighten the screws
on the connector.
Do not force the connector into the card at an angle. It could damage the
connector pins or the mold.
Caution
Connect the DVI cable supplied with the display between the branch cable's DVI
connector and the display and tighten the screws.

(In addition, 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 are possible.)
Is it possible to use multiple graphics cards?
Multiple graphics cards can be basically used in Windows XP. However, proper
operation is not guaranteed when combined with other graphics cards. In Windows
Vista, LV32P5-M cannot be used with non-Matrox cards. To use mulgiple cards, use
matrox cards with the same driver.
Which PCI slot should I insert this card to?
32 bit PCI and 64 bit PCI slots are useable. Also make sure that there is enough room
for the card inside the computer.
Does this card support OpenGL?
Yes, when set to 32 bit color (and 16 bit color). However, there are some restrictions.
Please check the performance on your system. OpenGL is not supported in any 8 bit mode.
Installation
Which display driver should I use?
Use the supplied driver or the designated customized driver for TOTOKU displays.
Proper operation of this card is not guaranteed when other display drivers are used.
The VGA boot screen (POST) does not appear.
Check the followings:
• The display is not turned on, or the signal cable is not connected properly.
• The display is not connected to the right card: There is output from the unplugged
on-board VGA or another card.
• Another card is conicting.
ENGLISH
- 13 -
Can I install the display driver by overwriting?
No. Make sure to uninstall an existing driver before updating it or when adding/
removing cards, or changing slots, and reinstall it.
The new graphics card doesn’t get recognized as new hardware.
Check the followings:
• The graphics card is not inserted all the way in the slot.
• An older version of the display driver may have been installed. Uninstall the existing
driver before installing the latest one.
• A non-NVIDIA card may be conicting. Remove it.
• Check Device Manager. If the Other devices section shows “[!] Video Controller
(VGA compatible),” the graphics card is detected. Install it from there.
The graphics card I installed doesn’t get recognized.
Conrm that the card is inserted all the way in the slot, and a proper graphics card
and/or a display driver is installed. If another graphics card coexists, remove it.
I can’t install the display driver when another graphics card coexists.
Remove another card once, insert this card, install and setup the display driver. Now
remove this card, insert another card in another slot, install and setup a display driver.
Put this card back into the slot where it was inserted. (In Windows XP only.)
The computer freezes at the Windows startup screen when restarting after the driver
is installed.
This happens when another graphics card coexists. Reinstall cards according to the
instructions above. (In Windows XP only.)
When I add another card after setting up this card, the computer freezes at the
Windows startup screen.
Remove this card once. Insert another card in another slot, install and set up a driver,
and put this card back into the slot where it was inserted.
The display blacks out during driver installation.
Wait for a while.
Any other measures for multi-display-related problems?
Try the followings as measures.
• Use the CMOS switch if the computer has one.
• Set the system BIOS from VGA boot to PCI primary.
• Share the same IRQ with all graphics cards.
• Install cards one by one.
• Check the card for the secondary display if it can be used for a secondary display.
• Update the computer motherboard BIOS.
• Use the latest chip set driver on the computer.
• Update the driver for another graphics card.
• Disable the on-board VGA in the system BIOS settings.
• Use a different slot.
• Remove PCI cards such as sound card.
• Change the driver version.
