CHAPTER 4: Advanced Hardware Setup

Setting up your CrossFire video cards

If your computer came with two CrossFire™ video cards installed, they must be connected correctly to work.

To connect your CrossFire video cards:

1Connect the CrossFire cable’s VHDCI plug to the VHDCI port on the upper (“primary”) of the two Crossfire cards. Make sure that the VHDCI plug is oriented so that the shorter of the two cables branching away from the plug is closest to the card’s DVI port.

VHDCI port (“primary”)

DVI port (“secondary”)

2Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to secure the thumbscrews on the VHDCI plug to the graphics card.

3Connect the shorter of the two DVI cables (the cables branch away from the VHDCI plug) to the second CrossFire card (“secondary,” the one with two DVI ports).
