2.5.1.3 Installing Four SLI TM -Ready Graphics Cards
Step 1. Install the identical 4-Way SLI TM -ready graphics cards that are NVIDIA ®
certified because different types of graphics cards will not work together
properly. (Even the GPU chips version shall be the same.) Each graphics
card should have two goldfingers for the ASRock SLI Bridge Card connec-
tors. Insert one graphics card into the PCIE1 slot, another graphics card
into the PCIE2 slot, the third graphics card into the PCIE4 slot and the last
graphics card into the PCIE5 slot. Make sure that the cards are properly
seated on the slots.
Step2. Connect the auxiliary power source to the PCI Express graphics card.
Please make sure that both power connectors on the PCI Express graph-
ics card are connected. Repeat this step on the other graphics cards.
Step4. Connect a VGA cable or a DVI cable to the monitor connector or the DVI
connector of the graphics card that is inserted to PCIE1 slot.
Two Goldfingers
Step3. Align and insert an ASRock SLI Bridge Card to the goldfingers of the first
and second graphics card. Install the second ASRock SLI Bridge Card to
the goldfingers of the third and fourth graphics card. Connect the second
and the fourth graphics card with the ASRock SLI_Bridge_3S Card. Make
sure the ASRock SLI Bridge Cards are firmly in place.
