Multi GPU Configuration & Power
Note that due to the high power and system demands created when two video
adapters are installed in a multi GPU (NVIDA® SLI or AMD CrossFireX™)
configuration, you should not power the system using the battery only and you
will require identical (300W) dual power adapters, connected to a power con-
verter box, to power the system.
• Only enable a multi GPU configuration if the system is powered by identical
dual power adapters connected by means of the power converter box.
• If the computer is currently powered by battery only do not enable a multi
GPU configuration.
• If you have currently enabled a multi GPU configuration, and the computer is
powered by the dual AC/DC adapters, do not switch to battery power only (or
go to the NVIDIA Control Panel/Catalyst™ Control Center and disable the
multi GPU configuration before switching to battery power only).
