2. Remove the SLI switch card. Flip it over to the other side (SLI mode side) and
insert it slantwise (at 45-degree angle) into the SLI slot.
3. Press down the SLI switch card. The retaining clips (on the sides of the SLI
slot) will automatically lock onto the notches in the ends of the card. The card
should securely fit into the slot. Before installing or removing the SLI switch
card, make sure that you unplug the power supply first.
4. After configuring the switch card to SLI mode, you can now install two
graphics cards on PCI Express x16 slots. W ith two cards installed, an SLI
bridge card is required to connect the atop golden fingers of these two
graphics cards. Please note that although you have installed two graphics
cards, only the video outputs on the first card will work. Hence, you only
need to connect a monitor to the first PCI Express card.
