-Ready Graphics Cards

Step 1. Install identical 4-Way SLI

-ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA

ﬁ ed because different types of graphics cards will not work together prop-

erly. (Even the GPU chips version shall be the same.) Each graphics card

should have two goldﬁ ngers for the ASRock SLI Bridge Card connectors.

Insert one graphics card into the PCIE1 slot, another graphics card into the

PCIE3 slot, the third graphics card into the PCIE5 slot and the last graph-

ics card into the PCIE7 slot. Make sure that the cards are properly seated

on the slots.

Step2. Connect the auxiliary power source to the PCI Express graphics card.

Please make sure that both power connectors on the PCI Express graph-

ics card are connected. Repeat this step on the other graphics cards.

Step4. Connect a VGA cable or a DVI cable to the monitor connector or the DVI

connector of the graphics card that is inserted to PCIE1 slot.

and second graphics card. Install the second ASRock SLI Bridge Card to

the goldﬁ ngers of the third and fourth graphics card. Connect the second

and the fourth graphics card with the ASRock SLI_Bridge_3S Card. Make
