and Quad 

CrossFireX

TM

 feature. CrossFireX

TM

 technology offers the most advantageous 

means available of combining multiple high performance Graphics Processing 

Units (GPU) in a single PC. Combining a range of different operating modes with 

intelligent software design and an innovative interconnect mechanism, CrossFireX

TM

enables the highest possible level of performance and image quality in any 3D 

application. Currently CrossFireX

TM

 feature is supported with Windows

®

 XP with 

Service Pack 2 / Vista

TM

 / 7 OS. 3-way CrossFireX

2.6.1  Graphics Card Setup

2.6.1.1  Installing Two CrossFireX

TM

-Ready Graphics  

             Cards

Different CrossFireX

TM

 cards may require different methods to enable CrossFi-

reX

TM

 feature. In below procedures, we use Radeon HD 3870 as the example 

graphics card. For other CrossFireX

TM

 cards that AMD

TM

 has released or will 

release in the future, please refer to AMD

TM

 graphics card manuals for detailed 

installation guide.

Step 1.  Insert one Radeon graphics card into PCIE2 slot and the other Radeon 

graphics card to PCIE4 slot. Make sure that the cards are properly seated 

on the slots.

1.   If a customer incorrectly configures their system they will not see the  

performance benefi ts of CrossFireX

. All three CrossFireX

TM

 components, a 

CrossFireX

TM

 Ready graphics card, a CrossFireX

TM

 Ready motherboard and a 

CrossFireX

TM

 Edition co-processor graphics card, must be installed correctly 

to benefi t from the CrossFireX

TM

 multi-GPU platform.

2.   If you pair a 12-pipe CrossFireX

TM

 Edition card with a 16-pipe card,  both 

cards will operate as 12-pipe cards while in CrossFireX

TM

 mode.

2.8  Jumpers Setup 

The illustration shows how jumpers are 

setup. When the jumper cap is placed on 

pins, the jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap 

is placed on pins, the jumper is “Open”. The 

illustration shows a 3-pin jumper whose 

pin1 and  pin2 are “Short” when jumper cap 

is placed on these 2 pins.

Jumper Setting 

Description

Clear CMOS Jumper

(CLRCMOS1)  

(see p.4,  No. 28)

Note:  CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the 

system parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug 

the power cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a 

jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, 

please do not clear the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need 

to clear the CMOS when you just 

fi

 nish updating the BIOS, you must boot 

up the system 

fi

 rst, and then shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS ac-

tion. Please be noted that the password, date, time, user default pro

fi

 le, 1394 

GUID and MAC address will be cleared only if the CMOS battery is removed.

The Clear CMOS Switch has the same function as the Clear CMOS 

jumper.
