If you have BizonBox with graphics card included skip this section and go to section N2. 1.1. Open the case by unscrewing the four screws on the bottom side of the BizonBOX. – DO NOT CONNECT 6-pin connector to 8-pin connector. Damage to the graphics card and power supply will occur. – All of the connectors on graphics card should be used. a. Connect one 6-pin connector, if your graphics card has a single 6-pin connector. 1.2. Remove the GPU housing by sliding it out of the case. b. Connect one 8-pin connector, if your graphics card has a single 8-pin connector. 1.3. Unscrew the two screws holding graphics card PCIe bracket in place. c. Connect both 6-pin connectors, if your graphics card has two 6-pin connectors. WARNING: Ensure you ground yourself to avoid damaging the GPU and continue to the next steps. d. Connect one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector, if your graphics card has one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector. 1.4. Carefully place the GPU into the available PCIe slot and gently apply downward pressure to fully seat the GPU in place. ENSURE THE GPU IS FULLY SEATED. Example: 6-pin to 6-pin, 8-pin to 8-pin 1.5. Secure the GPU to the PCIe bracket by tightening the two screws loosened up in Step 1.3. 1.6. Connect power to the PCIe connector(s) at the top of the GPU Notes: – 6-pin, 6 + 6-pin, 8-pin, and 6 + 8-pin GPU powered cards are compatible. – GPUs without PCIe power connection cannot be used with the BizonBOX. – The power connector must match the connection on the GPU. WARNING: 200 W power supply provide 6-pin + 8-pin PCIe connections. 400 W power supply provide 8-pin + 8-pin PCIe connections. Available power combinations that can be used are different: 200W (GTX 960, 970, 980, 1060, 1070, 1080): 1 x 6-pin or 1 x 8-pin or 6-pin + 6-pin WARNING: Do not use the 6-pin and 8-pin connections at the same time. The BizonBOX, power supply, and/or GPU can be DAMAGED. 6-pin + 6-pin connections can be used at the same time. » Technical Support E-Mail: support@bizon-tech.com (С) 2009–2017 BIZON. All Rights Reserved. 2 User Guide If your GPU requires 6-pin + 8-pin PCIe power connections, you must upgrade to the 400 W power supply that can use the following combinations: 400 W (GtX 9xx, 10xx, titan X): 1 x 6-pin or 1 x 8-pin or 6-pin + 6-pin or 6-pin + 8-pin or 8-pin + 8-pin. 1.7. Close the case by inserting inner GPU housing back into the BizonBOX and tighten fours screws on the bottom side. WarninG: Be careful with the power cables connected to the GPU and ensure you are carefully reseating the GPU within the BizonBOX without pinching or stretching any of the cables. 2. connEctinG BiZon BoX (Macos/os X) BizonBoX 2s technical requirements: – BizonBOX 2S: Mac with Thunderbolt 2 or Thunderbolt 1 port. – OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or later. – Beta versions are not supported.
