Removing a GPU

To remove GPU 2, remove GPU 1 first and to remove GPU 4, remove GPU 3 first.

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

NOTE: This is a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Removal and installation procedures should be performed only by Dell certified service technicians.

  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
  2. Remove the GPU riser cables connected to the switch board or system board.

    CAUTION: The GPU riser cables should be removed before removing the GPUs to prevent pin damage in the GPU connectors on the system board.

  3. Disconnect the power cables connected to the system board.

Steps

  1. Hold the GPU by the support brackets, and lift the GPU at an angle to release it from the guide pins on the front inner wall of the chassis.

    NOTE: Do not hold the GPU by the GPU riser cable board while removing the GPU.

  2. Lift the GPU out of the chassis.

    CAUTION: While removing the GPU out of the chassis ensure that the guide pins on the chassis do not scrape the GPU.

  3. Disconnect the power cable connected to the GPU.
