Note: DO NOT use the Fn + F7 key combination to tog-

SLI Multi GPU Configuration & Battery Power
Note that due to the high power and system demands cre-
ated by enabling SLI Configuration, you should not en-
able SLI configuration if your computer is powered
by battery only. If you attempt to run an SLI configura-
tion when the computer is powered by the battery only,
then system problems may occur.
• 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).
