1.2. Minimum System Requirements

•Hardware

- 550-wattsystempowersupplyspecificationoraboveisrecommended.

- Intel®Pentium®4 orAMDAthlonTM XP class

- 1GB ofsystem memory;2GB ormore forbest performance

- Opticaldrive forsoftwareinstallation (CD-ROMor DVD-ROMdrive)

•OperatingSystem

- Windows®Vista

- Windows®XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)

- Windows®XPProfessionalx64 Edition

•SLITM Configuration

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

arerequired:

- AnSLIcertifiedmotherboardwithtwo/three PCIex16slotsandcorrectchipsetdriver

- Two GV-N285-1GH-B/GV-N285UD-1GH forSLIconfiguration;

ThreeGV-N285-1GH-B/GV-N285UD-1GHfor 3-waySLIconfiguration

- Apowersupplywith 900-wattoraboveisrecommended

- AnSLIbridgeconnector or3-waySLIbridgeconnector

(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-N285-1GH-B/GV-N285UD-1GH) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE

TECHNOLOGY).

- 8 -GV-N285 Series Graphics Accelerator

The GV-N285-1GH-B/GV-N285UD-1GH 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-N285-1GH-B/GV-N285UD-1GH 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.

- 9 - Hardware Installation

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

proceeding.

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(refertopage6toseethedetails).Donottouchthe cardwhenit'soperatingto

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. Or

use the DVI-I to HDMI adapter to connect an HDMI monitor.
