Removing the GPU brackets from the replacement GPUs

This procedure is not applicable to the AMD replacement GPUs because they are shipped without the I/O and support brackets. The Nvidia or Intel replacement GPUs are shipped with specific Nvidia or Intel I/O and support brackets. These brackets should be removed from the replacement Nvidia or Intel GPUs and installed on the Intel or Nvidia GPUs removed from your system. The procedure to remove the Nvidia and Intel brackets from 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 Philips #1, #2, and the Torx T6 screwdrivers ready.
  3. Remove the custom GPU brackets from the GPU removed from your system.

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.
