Installing GPU modules
Guidelines
A riser card is required when you install a GPU module.
A GPU module comes with a GPU support bracket if it requires a power cord, as shown in
. This support bracket is required for secure installation on some server models. On an R2700
server, you do not need to install this support bracket.
The GPU-M4000-1-X GPU module requires a power cord (P/N 0404A0M3).

If the GPU module does not require a power cord, open the retaining latch on the riser card,
insert the GPU module into the slot, and then close the retaining latch, as shown in
