Setup
Your IBM Digital TFT Monitor
To provide the best performance your Digital TFT Monitor uses a digital video
card which was shipped in the monitor package Accessories box. You may
also use your own digital video card.
Workplace Preparation
This section gives advice
on what you should
consider before you set up your
monitor.
Height
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen is slightly
below your eye level when you sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and windows,
usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor should be positioned
directly in front of you so that you do not have to twist your body to use it. Tilt
the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Working Practices
This section gives
advice on how you can
work comfortably and reduce
fatigue.
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, stand up and stretch occasionally as
prolonged use of computer workstations can be tiring.
Back
You should sit back in your chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and fingers relaxed.
Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing.
Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close work, can be
visually demanding. Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.

Graphics Card Installation
Overview
The graphics card included in your monitor package uses a Matrox graphics
engine to help the monitor provide superior performance with Windows,
digital video and 3D graphics. To further accelerate 3D programs, your
graphics card uses bus mastering and has hardware-accelerated features,
including texture mapping, Gouraud shading and Z-buffering. This graphics
card also supports more advanced 3D features such as alpha-blending, anti-
aliasing, MIP-mapping, and more. Depending on the model of your graphics
card, it supports display resolutions up to 1800×1440 and 1920×1200.
Your graphics card is 100% VGA compatible and supports all VESA
standards: VBE 2.0 (Super VGA modes), DPMS (energy saving), and DDC-
2B (Plug-and-Play monitors).
Also, depending on the model of your graphics card, you can upgrade it with
more RAM graphics memory or multimedia hardware add-ons. For more
information on available upgrades, see the Matrox Web site
(www.matrox.com/mga).
Installation Procedure
First, Install the card into the computer by following instructions in the
Hardware Installation section on page 7. Then, install its software by
following instructions in the Software Installation section on page 9.

ENGLISH
Hardware Installation
1. Switch to the standard VGA display driver
If you're running Windows 95/98 on your computer, this step isn't
necessary. If you're using another operating system (for example,
Windows NT 4.0), see its documentation for how to switch to VGA mode.
2. Open your computer and remove your existing graphics card
Turn off your computer and all peripherals such as your monitor or
printer. Open the computer and remove your existing graphics card. (If
you have a display adapter built into your computer's motherboard, it
should automatically disable itself after your graphics card is installed.)
3. Choose an expansion slot
Most computers have
different types of expansion
slots. Choose an AGP or PCI
slot, depending on the type of
Matrox graphics card you
have. Your system manual
should identify the location of each type of expansion slot in your
computer.
Inserting your Matrox card
into the wrong type of slot
could damage your card, your
computer, or both.
If you have an AGP card, don't insert the plastic tab next to the
connector pins (see picture) into the slot.
4. Insert your graphics card
Remove the cover for the slot
you intend to use. Save the
screw for the mounting bracket.
Position your graphics card
over the expansion slot you've
chosen. Push the card in firmly
and evenly until it's fully seated
in the slot. Replace the screw
to secure the bracket of your Matrox card to the computer frame.

Warranty
Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you originally purchase for
your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the
following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM or
your reseller.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts (which perform like new parts). In
some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine’s
production status, IBM’s warranty terms apply.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official
Published Specifications. The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of
Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will provide warranty service under the type of
service designated for the Machine and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion, or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may
require that the Machine on which it is installed be 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and
2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many of these transactions
involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. You represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered. A
part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the replaced part.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM or your reseller will repair it or replace it with
one that is at least functionally equivalent, without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working
order. If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the Machine, you may return it to your place of purchase and
your money will be refunded.
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that user for the remainder of the warranty
period. You should give your proof of purchase and this Statement to that user. However, for Machines which have a life-
time warranty, this warranty is not transferable.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at
1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service, either at your location or at IBM’s or your
reseller’s service center, to restore a Machine to good working order.

T55D.book Page III Wednesday, July 29, 1998 11:40 PM
IV
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its
property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The
replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced.
The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a
Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty
service. You also agree to ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its
exchange.
You agree to:
5obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and
6where applicable, before service is provided -
afollow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or your reseller
provide,
bsecure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and
cinform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases
where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.
Extent of Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure
caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible may void the warranties.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
HOWEVER, SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. iF THESE LAWS APPLY,
THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO
WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
In Canada, warranties include both warranties and conditions.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to
you.
For European warranty terms and conditions refer to enclosed IBM warranty statement Part Number 72H9623.
