Installing the Display Controller

Before you install the display controller, choose a well-ventilated 

location with an adequate amount of space. Excessive heat cannot 

dissipate when display vents are blocked. Make sure a grounded AC 

outlet is within easy reach.

Turn your computer off. Leave the power cord plugged into the 

grounded outlet. 

To install the display controller

1 Remove the computer cover.

2 Remove any existing graphics card and video signal cable.

3 Remove the blank bracket from an available PCI Express slot.

4 Insert the display controller into the slot, align the connector pins, 

and press the board down until it is firmly seated. 

5 For Quadro 4000 board only: Connect the 6-pin auxiliary power 

supply cable to the controller. (Use the built-in 6-pin connector if it 

is present.)

6 Secure the mounting bracket.

7 Reattach the computer cover and the peripherals.

Hardware Installation Tips

• NVIDIA boards. All boards referred to in this manual, except the 

NVS295 board, support single link and dual link on DVI ports. The 

NVS295 board supports single link only via DisplayPort-to-DVI 

adapter.

• Multiple displays. Connect all displays to the video board before 

you turn on the computer and install the driver. 

• Access to ports. For displays mounted on a desk stand, rotate the 

LCD panel from portrait to landscape for better access to the 

ports. 

• Threading cables. Thread the DVI cable and power cord through 

the stand column. Make sure the cable and cord run through the 

notches. To reattach the stand cover, align the hooks with the 

slots on the stand. Press the cover into place. A click sound signals 

a secure connection.
