SLI Technology
NVIDIA’s SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology allows two or more GPUs to run in
tandem within a system to achieve signicant graphics performance gains. To utilize
this technology, the GPU cards must be connected by an SLI Video Link.
If you intend to use SLI mode, please follow the instructions below to properly set up
SLI mode. The instructions below are meant for a two video card SLI conguration.
Install two NVIDIA graphics cards in the PCI_E1 and the PCI_E5 slots.
With the two cards installed, an optional SLI Video Link cable is required to
connect the graphics cards. Attach one side of the cable on each of the cards by
way of the metal contacts (please refer to the picture below). Please note that
although two graphics cards have been installed, only the display ports on the
graphics card installed in the rst PCIe x16 slot will work. All displays should be
connected to this graphics card.
