24 x 2.5-inch NVMe HPR GOLD No
NOTE: HPR GOLD fans also known as High performance Gold (VHP) fans.
NOTE: For more information about supported cooling fans matrix, see the thermal restriction matrix section.
NOTE: 12 x 3.5-inch and rear drive configuration systems do not support GPU card.
2. Remove the heat sink and install the required L-type heat sink.
NOTE: All GPU cards require L-type heat sink and GPU shroud, irrespective of the length.
3. Remove the air shroud and install the GPU air shroud.
4. Remove the GPU air shroud top cover.
NOTE: The GPU air shroud top cover is part of the GPU air shroud.
5. Remove the GPU air shroud filler.
6. Install the GPU into full length risers.
NOTE: See full length expansion card riser into the system.
NOTE: For information about riser slot location on the system board, see the System board jumpers and connectors
topic.
7. If applicable, connect the power cables to the GPU. To know the connectors for GPU on the system board, see the System
board jumpers and connectors topic.
See the GPU power cable matrix to know about the requirement of cable for the GPU.
