Installing the custom GPU brackets on the replacement GPUs

The AMD replacement GPUs are shipped without specific I/O and support brackets. The Nvidia and Intel replacement GPUs are shipped with specific Nvidia and Intel I/O and support brackets. These brackets should be removed from the replacement Nvidia or Intel GPUs and installed on the Nvidia or Intel GPUs removed from your system. The procedure to install the custom Nvidia, Intel or AMD brackets on the replacement GPUs is identical.

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. Keep the Phillips #1 and #2 screwdrivers ready.
  3. Install the GPU brackets on the GPU removed from your system.

    NOTE: This procedure is not applicable to AMD GPUs.

Steps

  1. Align the screw holes on the front I/O bracket with the screw holes on the GPU.

    NOTE: For the AMD GPUs, ensure that you align the hole on the I/O bracket with the alignment guide on the GPU.

  2. Secure the I/O bracket to the GPU by using the screws.
  3. Align the screw holes on the support bracket with the screw holes on the GPU.
  4. Secure the support bracket to the GPU by using the screws.
