2.1 Installation Overview
Once you have determined that your system meets the minimum requirements,
perform the following tasks to install your new graphics card.
Detailed installation instructions are provided in the following sections.
1. If you are replacing an existing graphics card, uninstall the old graphics driver
and software.
Note: If you are using a motherboard containing an on-board graphics solution
and do not intend to use it as part of a multiple monitor configuration, disable
it.
Chapter 2
2. Turn off and disconnect your computer system.
3. If needed, remove any old graphics card(s).
4. Install the new graphics card and radiator assembly.
5. If applicable, install a second graphics card for AMD CrossFire™ technology.
6. Reassemble and connect your computer system and display(s).
7. Start the computer system and install the new AMD Catalyst™ drivers and

8. Restart the computer system.
2.2 Installing the Graphics Card
Before installing a card that requires a supplementary power connection, make sure
your existing power supply has such a connection available.
1. Turn off the computer, monitor(s), and other peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord, and then disconnect all cables from the back
of the computer.
Caution:
Wait approximately 20 seconds after unplugging the power cord before
disconnecting a peripheral cable or removing a component from the
motherboard to avoid possible damage to the motherboard.
Note: If necessary, consult the computer manual for help in removing the
cover.
Caution:
Static electricity can seriously damage computer components. Discharge
your body's static electricity by touching the power supply or the metal
surface of the computer chassis before you touch any components inside the
computer's case to avoid damaging them.
4. Unscrew or unfasten and remove any existing graphics card from the computer,
if necessary.
Warning:
Some graphics cards can get hot while operating. Wait approximately five
minutes after turning off the computer before touching the card.
5. Locate the appropriate bus slot and, if necessary, remove the corresponding
metal backplate cover(s). Make sure all internal cables are clear of the slot.
Note: If you cannot find a bus slot to match the card, you need a graphics card
with the correct bus to match the motherboard.
6. Align the graphics card with the slot while making sure that the weight of the
radiator is fully supported (not dangling from the card).
7. Make sure that all cables and tubes are moved out of the way and press the
graphics card firmly in the slot until it is fully seated.
8. Fasten the graphics card securely to the back panel.
9. Identify a mounting location for the radiator assembly. Most computer cases
have at least one location for a screw-mounted, 120 mm × 120 mm fan at the back
of the chassis.
For proper mounting of the radiator assembly:
• Select a location that has the most open grills on the case for better air flow.
• The radiator assembly must be mounted above the graphics card and in a
location that has minimal impedance to air flow.
• Do not mount the graphics card or radiator assembly above an open power
supply to prevent power supply damage in case of coolant leakage.
• The radiator should be mounted on the side of the chassis so that the tubes
exit from the bottom edge of the radiator.
• The radiator assembly must be correctly mounted inside the computer
case and not left resting outside of the case.
• Do not change the placement of the fan on the radiator.
10. Align the radiator assembly with the mounting location so that air is exhausted
outside the system.
You should be able to see the radiator through the open grills of the computer
case.
11. Make sure that the tubes of the liquid cooling solution do not interfere with other
fans in the system and use the screws that are provided with the graphics card
to mount the radiator assembly.
Tip: For easier installation, fasten then tighten the screws in an “X” pattern (for
example, top-left, bottom-right, top-right, then bottom-left corner).
12. Visually inspect the tubes to make sure that they were not damaged during
installation and that no liquid has escaped.
If any electrical components become wet, turn off and unplug your system
immediately. Carefully remove the graphics card and other components from
the system and thoroughly dry them while heeding the safety precautions in
Liquid Cooling Solution Safety Guidelines (p. 22). Make sure that your system
is completely dry before turning it on again.
13. If your card requires supplementary power and must be connected directly to
the power supply, locate the appropriate power connector cable(s) from the
power supply and connect it (or them) to the graphics card's supplementary
power connector(s).
The location of power connections may vary between models. They can be
located on either the side or back of the card.
14. If needed, install the second graphics card in the same manner as the first.
Note: It is recommended that graphics cards be separated by at least one empty
expansion slot for better air flow.
Figure 2–1 Dual-card Installation
15. Make sure no internal cables are interfering with components inside the
computer (for example, a cooling fan) and replace the computer cover.
16. Reconnect any cables that you have disconnected during installation, and then
plug in the computer's power cord.
If you have properly installed the graphics card, the computer should start normally.
Proceed to install the software and drivers for your AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury X graphics
card.
2.3 AMD Drivers and Software
Drivers are small but important programs that enable an operating system to
communicate with a piece of hardware, such as a graphics card.
When you install a new graphics card, you must also install the driver and
configuration software the card requires to function properly.
You also need to install (or reinstall) your AMD Radeon drivers when you have
reinstalled or upgraded your operating system or when you download updated
drivers.
The latest drivers are available from AMD's Web site at http://support.amd.com.
Note: When reinstalling drivers, always uninstall any previous drivers that are on
your system, even if they are for the same graphics card. Always start "fresh."
For information on installing the AMD Catalyst graphics driver on Windows®-based
systems, see knowledge base article number GPU-507 on the AMD Web site at http://
For information on installing the driver on Linux®-based systems, see article number
GPU-600 at http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Catalyst-Linux-Installer-
When connecting displays to a DisplayPort connection, the type of adapter and display
that you use may determine the number of displays that can be used with your
graphics card.
•
An active adapter allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected a
DisplayPort connection using DisplayPort signals.
•
A passive adapter also allows a non-DisplayPort display to be connected to a
DisplayPort connection but using non-DisplayPort signals.
•
Transmission of audio and video information between variants of the same
connection type (for example, Mini DisplayPort to standard DisplayPort and vice
versa) are considered to be native, active connections.
More information on the number and type of displays that can be supported by your
graphics card is provided in the following sections.
3.3 Connecting Displays
AMD Eyefinity technology is a solution that allows up to six displays to be
simultaneously run off a single graphics card. The AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury X graphics
card is capable of AMD Eyefinity technology and can support Ultra HD resolutions via
the DisplayPort connection.
As many as six DisplayPort displays can be connected and controlled independently
per DisplayPort connection using DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream transport (MST) hubs
or daisy-chain configurations. Hubs and displays in this setup must be capable of the
DisplayPort 1.2 standard.
The following table lists options for attaching displays to your graphics card. The types
of display configurations that can be used depend on the display connections that are
available on your graphics card.
For best graphics performance and quality, always use native (or active) connections
when possible.
