Connecting the SPDIF Audio Cable
An 18” SPDIF audio interface cable is provided with NVIDIA NVS 295 professional graphics boards. This
cable allows content with an audio signal, such as Blu-ray or DVD to be passed from the motherboard for
further processing and signal conversion. One end of the cable connects to the two-pin connector on the
graphics board while the other needs to be attached to the SPDIF motherboard connector. Consult the
documentation that came with your system for additional information on this topic.
