Expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. 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 IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED ON  
THE CARD.  
In order to ensure your graphics card working correctly, please use official  
Gigabyte BIOS only. Use none official Gigabyte BIOS might cause problem  
on the graphics card.

2.2. Hardware installation  
Installing Your graphics card.  
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to install your graphics accelerator  
card.  
To remove the existing graphics card:  
1. Power off the computer and monitor, then  
disconnect the display cable from the back  
of your computer.  
2. Remove the computer cover. If necessary,  
consult your computer's manual for help in  
removing the cover.  
3. Remove any existing graphics card from  
your computer.  
Or, if your computer has any on-board  
graphics capability, you may need to disable  
it on the motherboard. For more information,  
please see your computer documentation.  
To install your new graphics card:  
1. Locate two PCI Express x 16 slots. If  
necessary, remove the metal covers from  
the slots; then align your graphics card with  
the PCI Express x 16 slots, and press it in  
firmly until the card is fully seated.  
* Please make sure that the gold edge connectors of the graphics card is securely inserted.

and replace the computer cover.  
After installing the GV-3D1-7950-RH to your computer, please  
remember to connect at lease one power cable on the graphics card  
to the power supply connector.  
We suggest you to connect both of the two power cables on the  
graphics card to the power supply to achieve optimal graphics  
performance.  
3. Plug the display cable into your graphics  
card; then turn on the computer and monitor.  
To connect a flat panel directly to your  
graphics card, use the DVI-I connector. To  
connect a VGA monitor to the DVI-I  
connector, plug the DVI-I to D-sub adapter  
intotheDVI-Iconnector,thenplugthemonitor  
cable into the adapter.

How NVIDIA® SLITM (Scalable Link Interface) 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 x 16 PCI Express slots to scale graphics performance. The picture below shows that two  
graphics cards are linked in parallel in an SLI configuration.

channels makes these games appear brighter and more  
playable.
