SLI Multi GPU Configuration & Power
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 (300W) dual power adapters, connected to a power con-
verter box, to power the system.
• Only enable SLI configuration if the system is powered by identical dual
power adapters connected by means of the power converter box (factory
option).
• If the computer is currently powered by battery only do not enable SLI config-
uration.
• If you have currently enabled SLI configuration, and the computer is powered
by the dual AC/DC adapters, do not switch to battery power only (or go to the
NVIDIA Control Panel and disable SLI configuration before switching to bat-
tery power only).
SLI Configuration &
Multiple Displays
Note that if SLI configu-
ration is enabled only a
Single display may be
used as the display de-
vice.
