Page 28: Evga Control Panel V2 (Ecp)
EVGA Control Panel V2 (ECP) For the convenience of users, EVGA has bundled an easy to Access Control Panel: To use the ECP, simply hook up the black ECP Cable to the motherboard at the ECP header location. (See visual guide) - Page 29 If you wish to access the PCIE Disable Function via the ECP, please follow these instructions: Locate the PCIE Disable Jumpers (see visual guide) Remove the 3 jumpers. Connect the PCIE Cable with the Red wires occupying the left most pins: It doesn’t matter which end of the PCIE Cable goes onto the Motherboard.
- Page 30 The Red wires should be occupying the pins on the top row. Now, access the Disable/Enable Function at the front of the Control Panel: From Right to Left, PCIE Slots 1,2,3. When Jumper is in top position, PCIE slot is enabled. When in bottom position PCIE slot is disabled. Above shows example of PCIE slot 2 disabled while the rest are enabled.
