Step 1. There is one ASRock SLI/XFire Switch Card factory-mounted on this
motherboard. This card served as a switch between the default mode (x8 / x8)
and x16 / x1 mode. ASRock SLI/XFire Switch Card is factory-mounted with its
default mode (x8 / x8) side toward the retention slot base.
Step 2. To change it to SLI Mode, you need to reverse the direction of ASRock SLI/
XFire Switch Card. Please simultaneously pull open both the retention arms
that hold the card in position. The card itself will spring away from the retention
slot. Take it out gently by holding its edges, and keep away from touching the
connectors (Golden Fingers).
