Remove two adjacent slot covers if you do not have a graphics card installed.
Remove two adjacent slot covers that
corresponds to the PCl-Express slot you
are installing the GeForce GTX graphics
card in.
Note: The NVIDIA@GeForce@ GTX 1070 card is double-wide and will require removing
two slot covers.
Plug the GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card into the Primary PCI Express x 16
slot on your motherboard. This is often the slot closest to the CPU but may be
the second or third slot. Look for the slot labeled x 16. It will likely be the only
PCl Express slot with a retention lever on the end of the slot or the one
closest to the CPU
Install your first GeForce GTX 1070
graphics card into the Primary PCl
Express x 16 slot.
Note: It is recommended that you install the graphics card into the primary PCl
Express x16 slot. If you install the graphics card into the secondary slot, your system
may not recognize the graphics card and there will be nothing displayed on the
monitor.
Also note that on some motherboard SBIOS, the physical location of the primary slot
can be configured when there are more than one PCl Express x 16 slots.
