•SLITM Configuration

If you are planning on using this graphics card as part of an SLI system, the following

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertified motherboardwithtwo/threePCIex16slots andcorrectchipsetdriver

- TwoGV-N26UD-896M forSLIconfiguration;

ThreeGV-N26UD-896M for3-waySLIconfiguration

- Apowersupplywith900-watt or above isrecommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnectoror 3-way SLI bridgeconnector

(Note 1) SLI technology requires a PCI Express motherboard with two/three x16 physical connectors.

Graphics cards working in an SLI configuration must be with the same model name

(e.g. GV-N26UD-896M) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).

metal cover from this slot; then align your graphics card with

the PCI Express x16 slot, and press it in firmly until the card is

fully seated.

Makesurethatthegoldedgeconnectorofthegraphicscardissecurely

inserted.

Step 2.

Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the

computer cover.

Afterinstallation,remembertoconnectthepowercabletoyourgraphicscard,orthesystem

willnotboot(refertopage6tosee thedetails).Donottouchthecardwhenit'soperatingto

prevent system instability.

Step 3.

Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer

and monitor. To connect a D-Sub monitor to your graphics card,

use the D-Sub connector. To connect a flat panel display to your

graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI

monitor to your graphics card, use the HDMI connector. Connectaflatpanel
