HARDWARE INSTALLATION
5 Plug the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card into the Primary PCI Ex-
press x16 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 ×16.
It will likely be the only PCI Express slot with a retention lever on the
end of the slot or the one closest to the CPU
Note: It is recommended that you install the graphics card
into the primary PCI 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 PCI Express x16 slots.
If you are installing additional GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards for
an SLI configuration, continue with step 6 (2-way SLI) or step 6 and 7
(3-way SLI). If you are only installing one GeForce card, go on to step 8.
Note: All of the graphics cards in an SLI configuration must
be identical. Therefore, you must have all GeForce GTX 980 Ti
graphics cards.
6 Install a second GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphic card (2-way SLI):
a) Install the second GeForce card into the outer most PCI Express
x16 slot on the motherboard.
b) Connect the two GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards together using the dual
SLI bridge connector that came with your SLI-ready motherboard.
7 Install a third GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphic card (3-way SLI):
a) Install the third GeForce card into the middle PCI Express x16 slot
on the motherboard.
b) Connect the three GeForce GTX 980 Ti cards together using
the tripple SLI bridge connector that came with your SLI-ready
motherboard.
