GV-N295 Series Graphics Accelerator
The GV-N295-18I-B/GV-N295-18I-B rev 2.0 graphics card is a performance optimized high-end card.
Power is taken from the PCI Express host bus as well as the 8-pin and 6-pin PCI Express power
connectors.
Without auxiliary power provided to the GV-N295-18I-B/GV-N295-18I-B rev 2.0 graphics card, an LED
on the bracket goes red and the graphics card will not boot. In addition, the connector that is not
adequately powered will turn red.
The table below outlines the different possible scenarios as well as the resulting behaviors.

We suggest you using a power supply that provides a 8-pin PCI Express power cable instead
of using the included 8-pin power adapter. If you want to use the included 8-pin power adapters,
make sure the adapter fits 12V/15A specification. Failure to do so may jeopardize the stability
of the graphics card.
Incorrect Connection
(The two 4-pin power connectors on
the adapter are connected to the same
system power supply cable.)
Correct Connection
(The two 4-pin power connectors on the
adapter are connected to two independent
system power supply cables.)
