Using the Matrox MXO2 Thunderbolt adapter

your MXO2 to be detected by your system and its applications.

and MXO2 before connecting the adapter to your computer via the Thunderbolt
cable. If you want to disconnect or connect MXO2 when your system is running,
you must do it by disconnecting/connecting the Thunderbolt cable. Do not
disconnect the Matrox PCIe cable from the adapter, or MXO2, when your Mac
system is running.
