Connect the display devices with HDMI
connect (if applicable)
If your graphics card support HD output,
you can connect your display device with
HDMI connector to the graphics card
using a DVI-to- HDMI adapter and HDMI
cable.
Note:
AMD Crossfire bridge interconnect, DVI-to-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable are
optional accessories, included with certain products only. For information on
what accessories will include with your graphics card, see "What's in the box"
printed in the package.
Connecting the power cable (if applicable)
If you're using the 6-pin or 8-pin power connectors, then be sure to plug each
of the adapter's peripheral connectors into a separate PSU cable. Plugging
them both into the same PSU cable forces the video card to draw its power
through one wire. Thus increases your voltage drop and power dissipation in
the cable. Make sure that you connect the dedicated PCI Express power
cables from Power Supply Unit (PSU) to graphics card. We do not recommend
the use of power cable converter for graphics card.
1. Proper Power Connection
Low Profile
Bracket Connect 2 individual PCI Express (6-pin) power cable directly from the
power supply to each power connector on your graphics card.
