Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components Figure 24. Removing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card Installing Linked PCI Express Graphics Cards The Desktop Board supports technology that allows you to install linked PCI Express graphics cards such as NVIDIA* SLI* (Scalable Link Interface) cards. Make sure you use two identical SLI-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA certified and the latest graphics driver. You can use the connector included with the Desktop Board to connect the two graphics cards together. Visit the NVIDIA zone website (http://nzone.com) for more information. To install two linked PCI Express graphics cards: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 29. 2. Install the first card in the PCI Express x16 connector as described in "Installing a PCI Express x16 Graphics Card" on page 43. 3. Place the second card in the PCI Express x8 connector (Figure 25, A) and press down on the card until it is completely seated in the connector and the card retention notch on the card snaps into place around the retention mechanism pin on the connector. 4. Secure the card's metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw (Figure 25, B). 5. Connect the two cards together with the SLI bridge (Figure 25, C) as shown. 45
