HARDWARE INSTALLATION



Before You Begin

The GeForce GTX TITAN X graphics card is a PCI Express 3.0 ×16

graphics card. Your computer may already have a graphics card installed

in the PCI Express slot. If so, you will need to remove that graphics card

and replace it with the GeForce GTX TITAN X graphics card.

If you do not have a graphics card, this means that your motherboard

has on-board graphics (there is a graphics chip installed on your

motherboard or integrated in the motherboard chipset). If this is the

case, there is no action that needs to be taken before installing your

new graphics card.

Installing the GeForce Graphics Card

Because there are so many different computer systems on the market,

the procedure to install the GeForce GTX TITAN X graphics card can

vary from system to system. Use the following instructions as a

guideline and consult the documentation for

your computer system for any further information on your individual

system.

Note: It is important that all power to the computer be

disconnected before you install the graphics card.

Discharge your body’s static electricity by touching a grounded surface

before touching the graphics card. A grounded surface is the computer

chassis, or some other surface you know to be grounded.

Use the following procedure to install the GeForce GTX TITAN X

graphics card into your computer system.

1 Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord.

Depending on your computer system, you may need to disconnect the

cable going to the back of your system. Mark the cables so you can

make sure you reconnect them properly.

2 Open your computer by removing the cover/side panel. Refer to

your computer documentation from the original manufacturer

for assistance.

3 Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware

(such as screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA

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 card in your system has cooled before

taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot

when they have been operating for any length of time.

4 Remove two adjacent slot covers if you do not have a graphics card

installed.

Note: The GeForce GTX TITAN X card is double-wide so it will

require removing two slot covers.
