Installing a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit
Use these instructions to install a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit installed on a
blade server.
Note: This section does not apply to the IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration Blade XI50B Type 4195
appliance.
To install a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit, complete the following steps:
1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page iii and “Installation guidelines” on page 17.
2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see “Removing the blade server from the
BladeCenter unit” on page 19 for instructions).
3. If the expansion unit is installed on a blade server or another expansion unit, remove it (see “Removing
an optional expansion unit” on page 22 for instructions).
4. Remove the blade server cover (see “Removing the blade server cover” on page 20 for instructions).
5. If an expansion unit is installed over the expansion unit you want to install the adapter in, remove that
expansion unit (see “Removing an optional expansion unit” on page 22 for instructions).
6. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the GPU adapter
to any unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack-component for at least 2 seconds.
7. Remove the GPU adapter from its static-protective package.
8. Connect the GPU adapter to the PCI connector in the expansion-unit riser assembly, as shown in the
following illustration.
9. Carefully turn over the expansion-unit riser assembly, and use a Phillips screwdriver to install the four
non-captive retaining screws, as shown in the following illustration.
