CHAPTER 4:
Installing the CrossFire™ Edition Master
Graphics Card
This chapter will guide you through the physical installation of your
CrossFire™ Edition graphics card.
The CrossFire™ Edition will always be the Master graphics card due to its on-
board compositing engine and the associated DMS-59™ connector. For
supported Slave graphics cards, see
Allowable CrossFire™ Display
Configurations .
Installing Master Graphics Cards
The following set of instructions assumes that the PCI Express® Slave
graphics card has already been successfully installed in the secondary slot
(slot one), and that the primary slot (slot zero) is empty. If you have not
already done so, see the user’s guide that came with the graphics card for
installation instructions.
L Consult your system builder or OEM to ensure that your system has an
adequate power supply. A 500 watt or greater power supply is
recommended. PCI Express® compatible system comes with specialized
12V graphics card power connector. Consult your computer system
manual to verify that the power supply is designed to accommodate a
high-end graphics card with a peak dissipation above 75 watts.
