Hardware Installation- 7 -

English

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

protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some

precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Turn off your computer and unplug power supply.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have

one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as

the power supply case.

3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

components whenever the components are separated from the system.

The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static

electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed.

Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator

should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static

mat.

Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage

to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before

proceeding.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED ON

THE CARD.

In order to ensure your graphics card working correctly, please use official

Gigabyte BIOS only. Use none official Gigabyte BIOS might cause problem

on the graphics card.

2.2. Hardware installation

Installing Your graphics card.

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

card.

To install your graphics accelerator card:

1. Power off the computer and monitor, then

disconnect the display cable from the back

of your computer.

2. Remove the computer cover. If necessary,

consult your computer's manual for help in

removing the cover.

3. Remove any existing graphics card from

your computer.

Or, if your computer has any on-board

graphics capability, you may need to disable

it on the motherboard. For more information,

please see you computer documentation.

4. Locate the PCI Express x 16 slot. If

necessary, remove the metal cover from this

slot; then align your graphics card with the

PCI Express x 16 slot, and press it in firmly

until the card is fully seated.

5. Replace the screw to fasten the card in place,

and replace the computer cover.

6. Plug the display cable into your card; then

turn on the computer and monitor. If your

graphics card came with a DVI-I connector,

you can connect a flat panel display to the

appropriate connector, as shown below...

You are now ready to proceed with the installation of the graphics card driver. Please

refer to next chapter for detailed instructions.

To TV/VCR/VIVO

To VGA Monitor To Flat Panel Display

Warning!

When installing the graphics card, do

not push down the heat pipe. This

may displace the heat pipe and cause

bad contact between the GPU and

thermal pad as well as affect the heat

dissipation. To avoid system

instability, do not touch the graphics

card when it is runnnig .

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

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

manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides

two x 16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below

shows that two graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration.

For more information about the hardware configuration of an SLI system, please refer to

motherboard user manual.

SLI bridge connector

(provided by motherboard

manufacturer)

Two SLI-ready graphics

cards of the same type.
