Installing Graphic Cards & Sli Bridge - TYAN TOMCAT K8E-SLI Manual

2.13 – Installing Graphic Cards & SLI Bridge
The S2866 supports the NVIDIA SLI technology. The SLI (Scalable Link
Interface) technology is a revolutionary approach to scalability and increased
performance. Taking advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI
TM
Express bus architecture, the SLI technology features hardware and software
innovation within NVIDIA GPUs (graphic processing units) and NVIDIA MCPs
(media and communications processors). Combining two NVIDIA SLI-certified
graphics cards in a single system allows you to highly increase your graphic
performance.
Installing Graphic Card
Locate the SLI card and SLI bridge. There are two sides (single and double) on
the SLI card. When you just install a single graphic card, insert the SLI card into
SO-DIMM slot with the side of "Single Graphic Card". When you install two
graphic cards, insert the SLI card into SO-DIMM slot with the side of "Dual
Graphic Card". After installing two graphic cards, put the SLI Bridge onto two
graphic cards to make the connection.
