Removing your PCIe host ExpressCard/34
adapter
You can safely remove the Matrox PCIe host ExpressCard/34 adapter from your
laptop at any time as follows:
¡ Important Do not disconnect the PCIe cable from the Matrox PCIe host
ExpressCard/34 adapter while your laptop is running. Instead, remove the
adapter from your laptop with the Matrox PCIe cable attached.
1 Quit all video/audio applications that use your Matrox MXO2 hardware,
such as Matrox A/V Tools.
2 With the Matrox PCIe cable attached, remove the Matrox PCIe host
ExpressCard/34 adapter from your laptop’s ExpressCard/34 slot.
¦ Note The Safely Remove Hardware and Eject commands in Windows are
not supported for removing your Matrox PCIe host ExpressCard/34 adapter.
If your system is running and MXO2 is connected to your laptop when you
remove the Matrox PCIe host ExpressCard/34 adapter, the Matrox WYSIWYG
icon (
) on your Windows taskbar will turn red to indicate that your Matrox
MXO2 hardware cannot be detected. When you re-insert the Matrox PCIe host
ExpressCard/34 adapter with attached PCIe cable back into your laptop’s
ExpressCard/34 slot, the icon will return to its normal state once your MXO2
hardware is detected.
