Installing GPUs on an Add-on Module
1. Remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1, and remove the chassis
cover.
2. Remove the plastic socket cover on both the GPU and the add-on module.
3. Position the GPU on the socket on the add-on module board. Note that the GPU has
two asymmetrical guide pins that line up with holes in the add-on board. They allow only
the correct orientation of the GPU.

Graphics Processing Units
The 1029GQ-TRT and 1029GQ-TNRT include riser cards to support double-width GPUs (four
total). Models 1029GQ-TXRT and 1029GQ-TVRT support GPUs installed on the AOM-SXM2
or AOM-SXMV-P add-on modules.
GPUs in 1029GQ-TXRT and 1029GQ-TVRT
To take advantage of the high speeds, GPUs should be installed in pairs. If you are installing
two Pascal GPUs only, use positions 2 and 3 for the fastest GPU connection.
Note that in IPMI, the GPUs are numbered 1 to 4, right to left.
