Before mounting the bay on the case, you may
want to connect any of the optional
accessories you may have purchased along with it. The temp probes are easily
attached to the WOL headers and fans with 3pin power connectors can be plugged
into the available fan headers. The maximum current is ~1000mA at +12Vdc
from the fan headers. The LED Indicator Bus cable connects to the pins
near the white power connector as shown above. The red strip should be
facing the white header.
Software Installation
In a windows XP system, the MX2 is quickly identified and the Found New
Hardware Wizard will pop up. The driver for the display is included in
the mini CD and you'll simply need to choose advanced and browse to the driver
directory to finish the installation.
The display will be shown under Ports and USB in
your Device Manager. You can verify the COM port the device is
using from here so you can setup the display correctly in LCDC.
If all is well, you should see the cool default
Matrix Orbital splash screen as shown above.
Note: Something worth mentioning is that
this new model completely turns off when your shutdown your PC. Previous
MX2 models would remain on even after shutdown.
