•SLITM Configuration

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

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertifiedmotherboardwithtwo/three PCIex16slotsand correctchipsetdriver

- TwoGV-N275UD-896HforSLIconfiguration;Three GV-N275UD-896Hfor3-way SLI

configuration

- Apowersupplywith 550-wattor aboveis recommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnector or3-way SLIbridge connector

(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-N275UD-896H) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).

- 6 -GV-N275UD-896H Graphics Accelerator

The GV-N275UD-896H graphics card is a performance optimized high-end card. Power is taken from

the PCI Express host bus as well as the two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.

Without auxiliary power provided to the GV-N275UD-896H- graphics card, an LED on the bracket goes

red and the graphics card will not boot. In addition, the connector that is not adequately powered will turn

red.

The table below outlines the different possible scenarios as well as the resulting behaviors.

If you want to use the included 6-pin power adapters, make sure the adapter fits 12V/15A

specification. Failure to do so may jeopardize the stability of the graphics card.

Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To

protectthemagainstdamagefromstaticelectricity,youshouldfollowsome

precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Turnoffyour computer and unplug power supply.

2. Useagroundedwriststrapbeforehandlingcomputercomponents.Ifyoudonot

DO NOTAPPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THE GRAPHICS CARD IS

DAMAGED.

In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use

official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might

cause problem(s) on the graphics card.

2.2. Hardware Installation

Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card.

Step 1.

Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, remove the

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(refertopage8toseethedetails).Donottouchthecardwhenit's operating to

prevent system instability.

Step 3.

This graphics card provides two DVI-I digital connectors. You

can connect a monitor that supports DVI-I function or use the

DVI-I to D-Sub adapter to connect a 15-pin D-Sub monitor.

- 9 - Hardware Installation

How NVIDIA®SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology works:

In an SLI configuration, two/three SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufac-

turers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides two/three x16 PCI

Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two and three graphics

cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration.

3. Software Installation

In this manual, we assume that your CD-ROM drive letter to be Drive D:

The installation of drivers is very simple. When you insert the driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, you

can see the autorun window (if it does not show up, run "D:\setup.exe"). Then you can follow the

instructions to setup your graphics card driver. (Please follow the subsection "3.1.3 Driver Installation"

to install the driver for your graphics card.)

3.1. Windows®XP Driver and Utilities Installation

3.1.1. Operating System Requirements

Notice the following guidelines before installing the drivers:

1. First make sure your system has installed DirectX 9.0c or later version.

2. Make sure your system has installed the appropriate motherboard drivers (for the motherboard

drivers, please contact the motherboard manufacturer.)
