Installation Procedure
Summary of procedure steps:
1.
Prepare the server for component installation.
2.
Replace the chassis mid-brace.
3.
Connect the 8-to-8 pin power cable adapter and the power cable to the motherboard.
4.
Install the GPU card into the new replacement riser.
5.
Install the new replacement riser into the chassis.
6.
Connect the power cable to the GPU card.
Use the following procedure to make the necessary chassis and cabling changes to a version 01 server
before you install the GPU card.
Step 1
Prepare the server for component installation:
a.
Shut down and power off the server as described in the “Shutting Down and Powering Off the
Server” section on page 3-7 .
b.
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.
c. Remove the top cover as described in the “Removing and Replacing the Server Top Cover” section
on page 3-8 .
d.
Remove the air baffle that covers the CPUs and DIMMs.
Step 2
Replace the chassis mid-brace:
a.
Remove the existing PCIe risers. Use the finger holes in each PCIe riser to lift straight up on both
ends. Set the risers on an antistatic mat.
b.
Remove the existing chassis mid-brace. Compress the finger-latches on each end of the mid-brace
toward the center, then lift it straight up (see
Figure 3-27 ).
c.
Install the new chassis mid-brace. Set the mid-brace in place while compressing the finger-latches
on each end toward the center. Release the latches to lock the mid-brace into position.
