2-4. Install two Graphics Cards with NVIDIA SLI Technology
This motherboard supports the NVIDIA SLI (Scalable-Link-Interface) technology, allowing the operation
of two identical (the same model from the same manufacturer) PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
NOTE:
The NVIDIA SLI technology currently supports the Windows XP operating system only.
Normal Mode:
Leave the SLI Switch to its
default Normal mode and insert the graphics
card into PCIEXP1 slot. The PCIEXP2 slot
functions as a PCIE x1 slot under this mode.
SLI Mode:
Switch the SLI Switch to SLI
Mode and insert the SLI-ready graphics
cards into PCIEXP1 and PCIEXP2 slots.
NOTE:
When PCIEXP2 slot functions as a PCIE x1 slot under
Normal mode
, insert the PCIE x1 card
into the marked area of PCIEXP2 slot.
This motherboard is factory pre-installed with an ABIT SLI switchboard. By the default “
Normal
” mode,
this motherboard is set for one single graphics card operation. To operate two graphics cards on this
motherboard, you will have to set the switchboard to “
SLI
” mode in advance.
