Installing a GPU

Your system supports up to four GPUs.

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. Follow the GPU installation guidelines.
  3. Install the GPU brackets.
  4. Install the GPU riser cable board.

Steps

  1. Lower the front of the GPU at an angle and slide it to engage the slots on the GPU with the guide pins on the front inner wall of the chassis.

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

    CAUTION: While installing the GPU, ensure that the guide pins on the chassis do not scrape the GPU.

  2. Lower the back of the GPU to engage the guide holes on the GPU with the guide pins on the chassis.
  3. Connect the GPU power cables to the GPU and the system board or the switch board.
