Removing the custom GPU brackets from the GPUs removed from your system

The Nvidia, Intel, or AMD brackets are installed on the Nvidia, Intel, or AMD GPUs shipped with your system. These brackets should be removed from the Nvidia, Intel, or AMD GPUs removed from your system and installed on the replacement 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. Keep the Philips #1 and #2 screwdrivers ready.
  3. Remove the GPU riser cable board.

NOTE: Depending on the type of Nvidia GPUs supported on your system, the location of the screws and type of GPU brackets will vary.

Steps

  1. Remove the screws securing the front I/O bracket to the GPU, and remove the I/O bracket.
  2. Remove the screws securing the support bracket to the GPU, and remove the support bracket.
