Figure 69. Add-on GPU air baffle
If a single-wide FHFL GPU adapter is to be installed on
slot 1, 4, or 7, but the adjacent slot (2, 5, or 8) is left empty
or installed with a half-length adapter, install this add-on
air baffle on the GPU air baffle first.
Note: If the adjacent slot (2, 5, or 8) is installed with a
low-profile Ethernet adapter that use an active optical
cable (AOC), the power of the AOC cable must be limited
to 2.5 W or lower.
Figure 70. Add-on GPU air baffle
If the riser card (E/x16/x16) is used and a single-wide
FHFL GPU adapter is installed on slot 2 or 5, install this

About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 55 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 56 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 73.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• Depending on the specific type, your GPU adapter might look different from the illustration in this topic.

“Remove the server from rack” on page 73.
b. Remove the top cover. See
“Remove the top cover” on page 266.
c. For easier operation, remove the adjacent riser assembly if needed. See
“Remove a riser
assembly” on page 155
.
Step 2. Remove the riser assembly that has the GPU adapter installed.
