How to Install Matrox M9120 Plus LP Graphics Card

• Power down the computer and unplug it from the electrical outlet; open the case and discharge any static electricity.
• Identify an available PCIe x1 slot and, if necessary, remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the chassis to accommodate the card’s bracket.
