Appendix D GPU Card Installation
Replacing a GPU Card (Less Than 300 W)
•
Use this section to install or replace a GPU card that draws less than 300 W power. Use this section
to install the following GPUs:
– GRID K1
–
GRID K2
– Tesla K10
–
Tesla K20
– Tesla K20X
–
Tesla K40
• For the 300 W GPU cards (Tesla K80 and Tesla M60), see:
–
Installing an NVIDIA K80 GPU Card and 300 W GPU Conversion Kit, page D-6
– Installing a Tesla M60 GPU Card and 300 W GPU Conversion Kit, page D-13
Step 1 Shut down and power off the server as described in Shutting Down and Powering Off the Server,
page 3-9 .
Step 2
Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have
to detach cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
Step 3 Remove the top cover as described in Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover, page 3-10 .
Step 4
Remove the PCIe risers and any existing GPU card:
a. Lift straight up on both ends of the riser to disengage its circuit board from the socket on the
motherboard. Set the riser on an antistatic mat.
b.
On the bottom of the riser, loosen the single thumbscrew that holds the securing plate. See
Figure 3-28 .
c. Swing open the securing plate and remove it from the riser to provide access.
d.
Swing open the card-tab retainer that secures the back-panel tab of the card (see Figure 3-28 ).
e. Pull evenly on both ends of the GPU card to disengage it from the socket on the PCIe riser (or
remove a blanking panel) and then set the card aside.
Note See GPU Card Configuration Rules, page D-2 before you install the GPU cards to the risers. Slot
population restrictions apply.
Step 5 Install your first GPU card into PCIe slot 2 or slot 5. See Figure 3-27 for the riser and slot locations.
Note GPU cards are not supported in PCIe riser 1 version 1B (UCSC-PCI-1B-240M4) or 1C
(UCSC-PCI-1C-240M4). Use riser 1 version 1A (slot 2) or riser 2 (slot 5) for GPU cards.
a. Align the GPU card with the socket on the riser, and then gently push the card’s edge connector into
the socket. Press evenly on both corners of the card to avoid damaging the connector.
b.
Connect the GPU card power cable into the GPU card and into the GPU POWER connector on the
PCIe riser (see
Figure 3-28 ).
