Installing a GPU
IMPORTANT:
•
A GPU support bracket and three screws are shipped with a riser module. Keep them secure
before installing a GPU.
•
Use the GPU support bracket and screws provided with the riser module to install a GPU in the
riser module. The GPU support bracket and screws provided with a GPU might not fit the riser
module structure.
To install a GPU:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Power off the device.
3.
Attach the GPU support bracket to the GPU. Align the three screw holes in the GPU support
bracket with the installation holes in the GPU, and then use screws to attach the GPU support
bracket to the GPU.
