Before You Begin
The NVIDIA

GeForce

GTX 1080 graphics card is a PCI Express 3.0 ×16 graphics
card. Your computer may already have a graphics card installed in the PCI
Express slot. If so, you will need to remove that graphics card and replace it with
the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.
If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard has on-
board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your motherboard or
integrated in the motherboard chipset). If this is the case, there is no action that
needs to be taken before installing your new graphics card.
Installing the GeForce Graphics Card
Because there are so many different computer systems on the market, the
procedure to install the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card can vary from system to
system. Use the following instructions as a guideline and consult the documentation
for your computer system for any further information on your individual system.
Note: It is important that all power to the computer be disconnected before you install
the graphics card.
Discharge your body’s static electricity by touching a grounded surface before
touching the graphics card. A grounded surface is the computer chassis, or some
other surface you know to be grounded.
Use the following procedure to install the GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card into
your computer system.
1
Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord.
Depending on your computer system, you may need to disconnect the cable
going to the back of your system. Mark the cables so you can make sure you
reconnect them properly.
2
Open your computer by removing the cover/side panel. Refer to your
computer documentation from the original manufacturer for assistance.
3
Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware (such as
screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA graphics card.
!
ATTENTION : If your system has been running for a period of time prior to opening
the panels, it is very important that you wait until the graphics card in your system
has cooled before taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot
when they have been operating for any length of time.
