SLI Configuration & Power
This computer features an NVIDIA Scalable Link Interface (SLI) that improves graphic quality and
performance by combining dual NVIDIA GPUs (two video cards are required) in a single system. Note
that due to the high power and system demands created by enabling an SLI configuration, you
should not power the system using the battery only and you will require identical dual power
adapters, connected to a power converter box, to power the system (see “SLI Multi GPU Config-
uration & Power” on page C - 15).
