Note:

To determine which PCIe™ slot is the primary slot, consult

your motherboard manual.

Alternately, to determine whether or not a CrossFire™ Edition card is
in the correct slot, connect your display directly to the DVI-I
connection on the Master graphics card instead of using the
CrossFire™ connector, with both graphics cards seated in their
respective slots on the motherboard. If an image appears on the screen
upon boot-up, the card has been placed in the correct slot on the
motherboard.

Yes, there is a setting in the Catalyst™ Control Center that needs to
be enabled for CrossFire™ to operate. When all of the hardware and
software has been properly set up and installed, the following
CrossFire™ aspect appears in Catalyst™ Control Center:
