To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Turn off your computer and unplug power supply. 2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case. 3. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system. The card contains sensitive electric components, which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the card should be left in its original packing until it is installed. Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Inspect the card carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause damage to your card. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the card before proceeding. DO NOT APPLY POWER TO YOUR SYSTEM IF THE GRAPHICS CARD IS DAMAGED. In order to ensure that your graphics card can work correctly, please use official GIGABYTE BIOS only. Using non-official GIGABYTE BIOS might cause problem(s) on the graphics card. GV-N98TSL-1GI Graphics Accelerator - 6 2.2. Hardware Installation Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics card. Step 1. Locate the PCI Express x16 slot. If necessary, remove the metal cover from this slot; then align your graphics card with the PCI Express x16 slot, and press it in firmly until the card is fully seated. Make sure that the gold edge connector of the graphics card is securely inserted. Step 2. Replace the screw to fasten the card in place, and replace the computer cover. After installation, remember to connect the power cable to your graphics card, or the system will not boot. Do not touch the card when it's operating to prevent system instability. Step 3. Plug the display cable into your card; then turn on the computer and monitor. To connect a D-Sub monitor to your graphics card, use the D-Sub connector. To connect a flat panel display to your Connect an HDMI monitor graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To connect an HDMI monitor to your graphics card, use the HDMI connector.

To connect an HDMI TV, follow the steps below to enable the S/PDIF in function for the graphics card. 1. Connect the provided S/PDIF cable to the graphicscard. 2. Connect the S/PDIF cable to the motherboard. (the red wire connects to the S/PDIF out pin andthe black to the Ground pin) You are now ready to proceed with the installation of the graphics card driver. Please refer to next chapter for detailed instructions. How NVIDIA® SLITM technology works: In an SLI configuration, two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same model and the same manufacturers are connected together via SLI bridge connector in a system that provides two x16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration. Two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same type.
