2. Graphics card configuration
2-1 Installing dual SLI-ready graphics cards
1.
Install one graphics card into the PCI-E1_16X slot, the other into the PCI-E2_16X slot.
2. Align and firmly insert the 2-way SLI bridge ont
o the edge connector of each graphics
card. Make sure that the bridge is firmly in place.
■
In 2-way SLI mode, it needs two identical SLI-ready graphics cards.
