SLI Technology
NVIDIA’s SLI (Scalable Lnk Interface) technology allows two or more GPUs to run n
tandem wthn a system to acheve sgn󰘰cant graphcs performance gans. To utlze
ths technology, the GPU cards must be connected by an SLI Vdeo Lnk.
If you ntend to use SLI mode, please follow the nstructons below to properly set up SLI
mode. The nstructons below are meant for a two vdeo card SLI con󰘰guraton.
Install two NVIDIA graphcs cards n the PCI_E2 and the PCI_E5 slots.
Wth the two cards nstalled, a SLI Vdeo Lnk cable s requred to connect the
graphcs cards. Attach one sde of the cable on each of the cards by way of the
metal contacts (please refer to the pcture below). Please note that although two
graphcs cards have been nstalled, only the dsplay ports on the graphcs card
nstalled n the 󰘰rst PCIe x16 slot wll work. All dsplays should be connected to ths
