Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

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.

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

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

  2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.

    NOTE: Pressing the release latches will not eject the GPU riser cable from the system board.
