SLI enabled?

I ordered my XPS700 E6700 with a single 7900GTX.  I have just ordered a second Dell 7900 GTX with SLI jumper included and was wondering the procedure to get it going.  Do I need to go into the BIOS or something to enable SLI?  Or, do I just plug in the new card, connect the two with the SLI jumper, turn on the system and follow some automatic hardware wizard thing?
Thanks in advance :smileyhappy:

    Install the card, connect it's pwr cable, install the SLI jumper and then boot to the OS.  When you reach the XP desktop - you should get a pop up bubble by the sys tray which says you can enable SLI - click on the pop up bubble.

    If that doesn't happen, right click on desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> nvidia tab.  You should then see an appropriate choice - don't have it here, it's something like GPU Performance  for one of the menus.

    Have no fear.  :smileywink:
