3  Remove any existing graphics card(s).

4  Install the graphics card into the Primary PCI Express x16 slot.

    If you are installing an additional GeForce GTX 295 graphics card for 

    Quad SLI configuration, continue with step 5. If you are only installing 

    one GeForce card, go on to step 6.

Power Status LED
GREEN: Both power connectors 
are correctly connected

RED: One or both power connectors are
incorrect or not plugged correctly

Primary Graphics Card LED
In a Quad SLI configuration running in Quad
SLI mode, only one graphics card will have
active displays. The blue LED indicates the
Primary card with the active displays. Make
sure to plug your displays into this card.

5  For Quad SLI, install the second GeForce card into the outer most 

    PCI Express x16 slot on the motherboard.

   

   

    Connect the two cards together using the dual SLI bridge connector 

    that came with your SLI-ready motherboard.

6  Connect BOTH a 6-pin AND an 8-pin PCI Express auxiliary power 

    connector from the computer power supply to the connectors on 

    the top edge of the GeForce GTX 295 graphics card.

Attention: If your system has been running for a period of time prior to opening 
the panels, it is very important that you wait until the graphics cardin your 
system has cooled before taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards can 
get hot when they have been operating for any length of time.

Note: All of the graphic cards in Quad SLI configuration must be identical.
Therefore, both graphics cards must be GeForce GTX 295.

7  If you are going to be using your graphics card to output audio over 

    an HDMI connection, connect the SPDIF cable as shown in the 

    diagram to your primary graphics card:

8  Reinstall the cover on your computer and reconnect any cables that 

    you removed earlier in the installation.

The GeForce GTX 295 graphics card can be connected to PC monitors

or TVs that support DVI, VGA, or HDMI inputs. Supported multi-display

configurations vary based on the operating mode of the graphics card 

that is set in the NVIDIA Control Panel:

      

▪ 

 Allows user to output to up to three displays 

        per graphics card. The user can connect to any combination of 

        display outputs on the graphics card.

      

▪ 

 In this mode, the GPUs work together to 

        increase rendering performance and image quality. The user can 

        output to up to two displays (only one display supported for

 

        Windows XP), but must connect to the displays using the two DVI 

        connectors on the primary graphics card (the primary graphics 

        card is indicated by the blue LED on the bracket).

Connect your computer monitor(s) or TV(s) to the GeForce graphics card.

Connect this end of the SPDIF cable into the SPDIF 
header on the motherboard, making sure to match 
the SPDIF and GND pins on the cable to the correct 
pins on the motherboard. Consult your motherboard
documentation for information on the SPDIF pins on 
the motherboard.

Attention: Make sure to plug the 8-pin PCI Express power connector (     ), NOT 

the 8-pin motherboard connector ( 

X ), into your graphics card.

Note: When two or more displays are connected, only the one connected to
the primary connector of the primary card will 

POST. The other monitor will

not come up until Windows loads.
