•SLI TM Configuration

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

are required:

- An SLI certified motherboard with two PCI Express x16 slots and correct chipset driver

- Two GV-NX88S512H-B

- A power supply with 1000-watt or above is recommended

- An SLI bridge connector

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

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

(e.g. GV-NX88S512H-B) and from the same vendor (e.g. GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY).

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 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.

- 7 - Hardware Installation

2.2. Hardware Installation

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

To remove the existing graphics card:

Step 1.

Power off the computer and monitor, then disconnect

the display cable from the back of your computer.

Step 2.

Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult

your computer's manual for help in removing the

cover.

Step 3.

Remove any existing graphics card from your

computer.

- 8 -GV-NX88S512H-B Graphics Accelerator

To install your new graphics card:

Step 1.

Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, re-

move 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.

* Please make sure that the gold edge connectors of

the graphics card is securely inserted.

Step 2.

Replace the screws to fasten the card in place, and

replace the computer cover.

Step 3.

Plug the display cable into your graphics card; then

turn on the computer and monitor. To connect a flat

panel directly to your graphics card, use the DVI-I

connector. To connect a D-Sub monitor to the DVI-I

connector, plug the DVI-I to D-Sub adapter into the

DVI-I connector, then plug the monitor cable into the

adapter.

After installation, remember to connect the power cable to your graphics

card, or the system will not boot. Do not touch the card when it's operating

to prevent system instability.

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

chapter for detailed instructions.

(1) Connecting HDTV

Connect your HDTV cables to the video adapter according to

the corresponding color.

(Y= Green, Pr= Red, Pb= Blue)

(2) Connecting S-Video

If your TV has a S-Video connection, connect the S-Video

cable from your TV to the S-Video Out port on the adapter.

(3) Connecting AV Output

If your TV has a Composite video connection, you can connect

the RCA cable from your TV to the AV Out port on the adapter.

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 x16 PCI Express slots

to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two graphics cards are linked in parallel

in an SLI configuration.
