e) Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the three captive thumbscrews to secure the riser cage to the node.
Replacing a GPU Card
Supported GPU cards are contained in a slot in either a Type A or Type B riser cage. For more information,
see
.
GPUs must be replaced with the same form factor of GPU that was removed. For example, if you remove a
HHHL GPU, you must install a HHHL GPU in its place. You cannot mix and match the GPUs in the same
riser cage.
To replace a GPU card, use the following tasks:
•
GPU Replacement Guidelines and Limitations, on page 26
•
Removing a FHFL GPU, on page 28
•
Installing a FHFL GPU, on page 29
•
Removing a HHHL GPU, on page 32
•
Installing a HHHL GPU, on page 36
GPU Replacement Guidelines and Limitations
Be aware of the following guidelines and limitation for replacing FHFL and HHHL GPUs.
• For installing GPUs into a riser type, there is a defined population order as shown in the following table.
It is a best practice to use this population order, which shows which slot(s) should be populated before
the other(s).
For information about how slots are numbered in each riser type, see
GPU Population Order
(Riser Number Riser Designator/Slot Number)
Riser Type
1A/1; 2A/2
A
1B/1: 2B/3; 1B/2; 2B/4
B
• For HHHL GPUs, the riser cage door has a retention block that prevents the HHHL GPU from backing
out of its PCIe socket while the door is closed. The retention block has a retaining pin that seats into a
hole in the bottom of the riser cage.
