•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-N480D5-15I-B/GV-N470D5-13I-B forSLIconfiguration;

ThreeGV-N480D5-15I-B/GV-N470D5-13I-Bfor3-waySLIconfiguration

- Apowersupplywith 900-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-N480D5-15I-B/GV-N470D5-13I-B) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE

TECHNOLOGY).

The GV-N480D5-15I-B/GV-N470D5-13I-B graphics card is a performance optimized high-end card.

Power is taken from the PCI Express host bus as well as the external PCI Express power connectors.

NVIDIA power

Connect power from the system power supply to the GeForce card(s).Use the connection method for

your particular graphics card.

• GV-N480D5-15I-B: Connect BOTH a 6-pin AND an 8-pin PCI Express auxiliary power

connector coming from the computer power supply to the connectors on the top edge of the

GeForce GTX 480 graphics card.

• GV-N470D5-13I-B: Connect two 6-pin PCI Express auxiliary power connectors coming from

the computer power supply to the connectors on the top edge of the GeForce GTX 470

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.

Step 3.

This graphics card provides two DVI-I digital connectors and

one mini HDMI connector. You can connect a monitor that sup-

ports DVI-I function. To connect a HDMI monitor,you need a

cable or adapter to connect from the mini-HDMI connector to a

HDMI monitor.

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.
