Before You Begin
The TITAN RTX graphics card is a PCI Express 3.0 ×16 graphics card. Your
computer may already have a graphics card installed in the PCI Express slot. If
so, you will need to remove that graphics card and replace it with the TITAN RTX
graphics card.
If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard has on-
board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your motherboard or
integrated in the motherboard chipset). If this is the case, there is no action that
needs to be taken before installing your new graphics card.
Use the TITAN RTX graphics card with UL Listed ITE Personal Computer
(PC)/Server.
Installing the TITAN RTX Graphics Card
Because there are so many different computer systems on the market, the
procedure to install the TITAN RTX graphics card can vary from system to
system. Use the following instructions as a guideline and consult the
documentation for your computer system for any further information on your
individual system.
: It is important that all power to the computer be disconnected before you install
the graphics card.
Discharge your body’s static electricity by touching a grounded surface before
touching the graphics card. A grounded surface is the computer chassis, or some
other surface you know to be grounded.
ATTENTION
If your system has been running for a while prior to opening the panels, it is
very important that you wait until the graphics card in your system has cooled before
taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot when they have been
operating for any length of time.
Use the following procedure to install the TITAN RTX graphics card into your
computer system.
1 Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord.
Depending on your computer system, you may need to disconnect the cable
going to the back of your system. Mark the cables so you can make sure you
reconnect them properly.
