Follow instructions in this section to install a GPU adapter.
About this task
Higher GPU power requires higher PSU power. Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to calculate the required power
capacity for what is configured for the server. More information about Lenovo Capacity Planner is available

Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 47 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 48 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 62.
• 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 59.
• All installed GPU adapters must be identical.
Procedure
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 54
.
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.
