2 Open your computer by removing the cover/side panel. Refer to your
computer documentation from the original manufacturer for assistance.
3 Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware (such as
screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA graphics card.
4 Remove two adjacent slot covers if you do not have a graphics card installed.
Note
: The GeForce RTX 2080 card is double-wide and requires removing two slot
covers.
5 Plug the GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card into the Primary PCI Express x16
slot on your motherboard. This is often the slot closest to the CPU but may be
the second or third slot. Look for the slot labeled ×16. It will likely be the only
PCI Express slot with a retention lever on the end of the slot or the one
closest to the CPU.
Note:
It is recommended that you install the graphics card into the primary PCI Express
x16 slot. If you install the graphics card into the secondary slot, your system may not
recognize the graphics card and there will be nothing displayed on the monitor.
Also note that on some motherboard SBIOS, the physical location of the primary slot can be
configured when there are more than one PCI Express x16 slots.
Remove two adjacent slot covers that
corresponds to the PCI-Express slot you
are installing the GeForce RTX 2080
graphics card in.
Install your first GeForce RTX 2080
graphics card into the Primary PCI
Express x16 slot.
The RTX 2080 graphics card should be
installed with the bracket facing the side
of the computer.
