Step 1. Adjust the jumpers on this motherboard to enable PCIE1 slot (PCIE x 8) and
PCIE3 slot (PCIE x 8). Please refer to the previous section “Dual Graphics
Feature” for proper jumper setting.
Step 2. Install the identical SLI
TM
-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA certified
because different types of graphics cards will not work together properly.

into PCIE1 slot and another graphics card to PCIE3 slot. Make sure that the
cards are properly seated on the slots.
Step3.
If required, connect an auxiliary power source to the PCI Express graphics
cards.
