Dell PowerEdge R730 Owner's Manual

Removing the GPU card

1. Lift the expansion card latch.
2. Close the expansion card locking tabs on the cooling shroud and the risers.
3. Hold the GPU card by its edges and slide out the GPU card at an angle to release it from the connector on the riser card.
4. Disconnect the cable from the GPU card.
5. If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty slot opening and close the expansion card locking tabs.
   NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions.
