2.8.1.3 Installing Four CrossFireX
TM
-Ready Graphics Cards
Step 1. Install identical 4-Way CrossFireX
TM
-ready graphics cards that are AMD
®
certifi ed because different types of graphics cards will not work together
properly. (Even the GPU chips version shall be the same.) Insert one
graphics card into PCIE1 slot, another graphics card into PCIE3 slot, the
third graphics card into PCIE5 slot and the last graphics card into PCIE7
slot. Make sure that the cards are properly seated on the slots.
Step 2. Use one CrossFire
TM
Bridge to connect the Radeon graphics cards on
PCIE1 and PCIE3 slots, another CrossFire
TM
Bridge to connect the Rad-
eon graphics cards on PCIE3 and PCIE5 slots, and use the third Cross-
Fire
TM
Bridge to connect the Radeon graphics cards on PCIE5 and PCIE7
slots. (The CrossFire
TM
Bridge is provided with the graphics card you pur-
chase, not bundled with this motherboard. Please refer to your graphics
card vendor for details.)

Step 3. Connect the DVI monitor cable to the DVI connector on the Radeon graph-
ics card on PCIE1 slot. (You may use the DVI to D-Sub adapter to convert
the DVI connector to D-Sub interface, and then connect the D-Sub monitor
cable to the DVI to D-Sub adapter.)
