Hardware Installation Tips
• NVIDIA boards. All boards referred to in this manual, except the
NVS295 board, support single link and dual link on DVI ports. The
NVS295 board supports single link only via DisplayPort-to-DVI
adapter.
• Multiple displays. Connect all displays to the video board before
you turn on the computer and install the driver.
• Access to ports. For displays mounted on a desk stand, rotate the
LCD panel from portrait to landscape for better access to the
ports.
• Threading cables. Thread the DVI cable and power cord through
the stand column. Make sure the cable and cord run through the
notches. To reattach the stand cover, align the hooks with the
slots on the stand. Press the cover into place. A click sound signals
a secure connection.

Installing the Display Controller

Before you install the display controller, choose a well-ventilated
location with an adequate amount of space. Excessive heat cannot
dissipate when display vents are blocked. Make sure a grounded AC
outlet is within easy reach.
Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the
grounded outlet.
To install the display controller
1 Remove the computer cover.
2 Remove any existing graphics card and video signal cable.
3 Remove the blank bracket from an available PCI Express slot.
4 Insert the display controller into the slot, align the connector pins,
and press the board down until it is firmly seated.
5 For Quadro 4000 board only: Connect the 6-pin auxiliary power
supply cable to the controller. (Use the built-in 6-pin connector if it
is present.)
6 Secure the mounting bracket.
7 Reattach the computer cover and the peripherals.
