Why choose a validated platform?
Matrox display wall products are designed for control rooms, operation centers, and other critical environments that require stable, reliable,
and durable solutions. Matrox display wall products work in numerous non-validated, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) motherboards and
systems, but only a select few of these off-the-shelf solutions can be thoroughly tested, verified, and validated by Matrox. Choosing a validated
platform guarantees a high-quality solution to drive your display wall system.
Some of the key benefits of using a Matrox-validated platform include:
 Optimized performance – Carefully selected by Matrox to ensure better performance, a validated platform guarantees that your
display wall product will work at or close to optimum performance.
 Extensive validation process – Systems are put to the test by Matrox Engineering, QA, Sales, and Marketing departments. From
development and testing to sales and product demos, our employees use these systems in various practices to monitor
performance. Using a validated platform guarantees the same level of performance experienced by Matrox staff.
 Easier deployment – Using an already validated system takes the guesswork out of building a display wall system. Integrators can
use a validated platform to quickly and easily deploy solutions across a wide range of project sizes.
 Faster customer support – Customer support is faster, easier, and more precise because our technical support team is already
familiar with the validated system you’re using.
 Uncompromised compatibility – Using a validated platform ensures that your display wall product has been thoroughly tested
and verified for uncompromised compatibility.
 Improved reliability – Systems validated by Matrox have guaranteed thermal and ventilation characteristics, resulting in better
product longevity.

D-Series system requirements
For D-Series based display walls (with or without Mura IPX Series cards), the demands and requirements of a system are more generic. To
use as a D-Series based display wall, a system
must meet the following requirements:
 The system must be properly ventilated and the Mura IPX Series and D-Series cards must not exceed the maximum allowed
temperature. For more information, see “System ventilation”, page 80.
 Mura IPX Series cards used in a non-validated system must have a fansink.
 The system must be populated with at least 32 GB of system memory. In addition, ensure to have all the memory channels
populated. For example, if your system or motherboard has four memory channels, make sure to populate all the channels to
add up to 32 GB (8 GB per channel totaling to 32 GB).

Note: If your power supply has an insufficient number of 6-pin connectors to support the maximum number of third-party
graphics hardware, you can order optional power cables. For more information on power requirements, see the documentation for
your third-party graphics hardware.
Note: Mura IPX Series cards leverage DirectX under Windows and OpenGL under Linux. Therefore, Matrox doesn’t foresee any
compatibility issues with other third-party graphics brands and models or other configurations not mentioned above. Although
Matrox strives to test a wide variety of setups and configurations of the most common use-cases, it’s impossible to test all possible
setups and configurations. If you’re having any issues with the setup of your third-party graphics + Mura IPX Series configuration,
we recommend first removing all Mura IPX Series cards to verify the stability of the isolated third-party graphics configuration. If
you have any questions or a request for a specific brand and model to be tested, contact us at [e-mail].

Configurations
Power supply 1550 W redundant power supply (P/N: Zippy MTW4-5F50V3H)
PCIe expansion slots 10 PCIe x16 2.0 slots (x16 mechanical, x16 electrical)
1 PCIe x16 2.0 slot (x16 mechanical, x4 electrical)
Notes The dust protection sponge filter in the front door must be removed for proper system ventilation.
If you use a wired mesh filter in the front door, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 degrees C. The
chassis fans must run at full speed. Filter requires a 18 x18 size 304 stainless steel wire mesh.
Once the add-in cards are installed in the system, the baffle must be placed on the top for proper air
circulation. The baffle must be used only with small clips to properly secure the add-in cards with the board
retainer bar.
Requires 4 x 92 mm x9 2 mm x 25 mm 102 CFM chassis fans running at full speed.
The smart fan must be disabled to run the chassis fans at full speed. In the system BIOS, go to Advanced

HW Monitor Tab  SYSFAN1 smartfan setting  and select DISABLE .
Ensure to have the following settings for GPU. Go to the system BIOS main page Chipset  System Agent
(SA) Configuration
 Graphics Configuration  and select:
 Primary Display  AUTO
 Internal Graphics  AUTO (select Enabled forConsole)
In the system BIOS main page, go to Chipset  System Agent (SA) Configuration  Above 4GB MMIO BIOS
Assignment
and select Enabled .
On-board console support with D-Series controller. Requires 3.05 or later drivers.
Card placement shown in the configuration table must be followed for better system ventilation.
Any unused slots must be installed with solid brackets for proper system ventilation.
Requires a CPU 8-pin female to ATX 4-pin male power adapter to connect the power supply to the 4-pin
connector header ATX12V2 on the backplane.
