Plug the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card into the Primary PCI Express 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.
Remove two adjacent slot covers that
corresponds to the PCI-Express slot you
are installing the GeForce GTX graphics
card in.
Install your first GeForce GTX 1080
