CAUTION Appendix NVIDIA® SLITM Technology 1. Introduction NVIDIA® SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI ExpressTM bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software solutions to deliver earth-shattering PC performance in a multi NVIDIA® GPU solution. It allows up to three identical PCI ExpressTM x16 graphics cards. ! ■ In Dual SLI mode, it needs two identical SLI-ready graphics cards. ■ In 3-way SLI mode, it needs three identical SLI-ready graphics cards. ■ Make sure that all the graphics cards are certified by NVIDIA, different type of graphics cards will not work together properly. ■ Make sure that your power supply unit can provide at least the minimum power required by your system. If you want to use 3-way SLITM configuration, please visit the NVIDIA website (www.nvidia.com) for the qualified Power Supply Unit vendor list. ■ The NVIDIA 3-way SLI technology supports Windows® Vista operating system only. ■ For the detailed Graphics Card support list on this motherboard, please visit the website: http://www.foxconnchannel.com 2. Graphics card configuration 2-1 Installing three SLI-ready graphics cards 1. Install the first graphics card into the PCI-E1_16X slot, the second into the PCI-E2_ 16X slot, and the third into the PCI-E3_16X slot (or the first into the PCI-E1_16X slot, the second into the PCI-E3_16X slot, and the third into the PCI-E4_16X slot). 1 2 3 103

Technology
1. Introduction
NVIDIA
®
SLI
TM
(Scalable Link Interface) technology takes advantage of the increased bandwidth
of the PCI Express
TM
bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software solutions
to deliver earth-shattering PC performance in a multi NVIDIA
®
GPU solution. It allows up to three
identical PCI Express
TM
x16 graphics cards.
2. Graphics card configuration
2-1 Installing three SLI-ready graphics cards
1.
Install the first graphics card into the PCI-E1_16X slot, the second into the PCI-E2_
16X slot, and the third into the PCI-E3_16X slot (or the first into the PCI-E1_16X slot,
the second into the PCI-E3_16X slot, and the third into the PCI-E4_16X slot).

In Dual SLI mode, it needs two identical SLI-ready graphics cards.
In 3-way SLI mode, it needs three identical SLI-ready graphics cards.
Make sure that all the graphics cards are certified by NVIDIA, different type of
graphics cards will not work together properly.
Make sure that your power supply unit can provide at least the minimum power
required by your system. If you want to use 3-way SLI
TM
configuration, please visit the
NVIDIA website (www.nvidia.com) for the qualified Power Supply Unit vendor list.
The NVIDIA 3-way SLI technology supports Windows
®
Vista operating system only.
