Step 1.
Install the identical 3-Way SLI
certified because different types of graphics cards will not work together
properly. (Even the GPU chips version shall be the same.) Each graph-
ics card should have two goldfingers for the 3-Way SLI Bridge connector.
Insert one graphics card into PCIE1 slot, another graphics card to PCIE3
slot, and the other graphics card to PCIE4 slot. Make sure that the cards
are properly seated on the slots.

Connect the auxiliary power source to the PCI Express graphics card.
Please make sure that both power connectors on the PCI Express graph-
ics card are connected. Repeat this step on the three graphics cards.
Step3.
Align and insert ASRock 3-Way SLI-2S1S Bridge Card to the goldfingers
on each graphics card. Make sure ASRock 3-Way SLI-2S1S Bridge Card
is firmly in place.
