Removing a PCI Express x16 Card Installing Linked PCI Express x16 Graphics Cards The Desktop Board supports the use of linked PCI Express x16 graphics cards with Nvidia SLI technology and AMD CrossFire X technology. When installing linked graphics cards in the PCI Express x16 connectors, refer to the card manufacturer?s instructions to determine correct card placement and interconnection. Use the connectors included with the Desktop Board to connect the graphics cards together. NOTE The installations steps that follow provide general instructions, for more complete installation and configuration information refer to the documentation supplied by the graphics card manufacturer or visit their website. 46 Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components To install two linked PCI Express graphics cards: 1. Install the first card in the PCI Express x16 connector as described in ?Installing PCI Express x16 Graphics Cards?Place the second card in the secondary PCI Express x16 connector (Figure 20, A) and press down on the card until it is completely seated in the connector and the card retention notch on the card snaps into place around the retention mechanism pin on the connector. Secure the card?s metal bracket to the chassis back panel with a screw (Figure 20, B). Connect the two cards together with the SLI bridge (Figure 20, C) as shown. Connect the monitor cable to the graphics card according to the manufacturer?s instructions. Figure 20. The emitter header consists of two output ports which the computer can use to emulate ?learned?infrared commands in order to control external electronic hardware. NOTE The Consumer IR option must be enabled in the system BIOS before it can function. Press <F2> at boot to enter the system BIOS, and go to Advanced > Peripheral Configuration > Enhanced Consumer IR, and set this option to Enabled.
