SLI Multi GPU Configuration & Power
Note that due to the high power and system demands cre-
ated by enabling SLI Configuration, you should not power
the system using the battery only and you will require
identical 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 configuration.
• If you have currently enabled SLI configuration, and the
computer is powered by the AC/DC adapter, do not switch
to battery power only (or go to the NVIDIA Control
Panel and disable SLI configuration before switching to
battery power only).
