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.
• GPU adapters are supported on some server models with requirements. See
“Thermal rules” on page 69.
• All installed GPU adapters must be identical.

Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective
surface.
Step 2. Locate the appropriate PCIe slot for the new GPU adapter. See
“PCIe slots and PCIe adapters” on
page 64
Step 3. Install the GPU adapter into the PCIe slot on the riser card.
Note: The following uses riser 1 or 2 assembly as an example for illustration. The procedure is the
same for riser 3 assembly.
