CAUTION:
The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the
electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To
remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the
power source.
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 58 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• 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.
Notes:
• Depending on the specific type, your full-length GPU adapter might look different from the illustration in
this topic.
• Use any documentation that comes with the full-length GPU adapter and follow those instructions in
addition to the instructions in this topic.

Procedure
Step 1. Locate the applicable PCIe slot. See “Specifications” on page 3 to identify the different types of
PCIe slots in your server.
Note: Ensure that you observe the installation rules and sequence in “Technical rules for PCIe
slots” on page 77.
Step 2. Make sure you have installed a PCIe adapter holder corresponding to the PCIe slot for your full-
length GPU adapter. See “Install a PCIe adapter holder” on page 127.
Step 3. If necessary, route the power cable for the full-length GPU adapter.
a. Remove all the fans. See “Remove a hot-swap fan” on page 93.
b. Remove the fan cage. See “Remove the fan cage assembly” on page 94.
c. Connect the power cable to the power distribution board; then, route the power cable and
secure it under the clip. See “GPU cable routing” on page 50.
d. Reinstall the fan cage. See “Install the fan cage assembly” on page 125.
e. Reinstall all the fans. See “Install a hot-swap fan” on page 126.
Step 4. If a bracket is installed in the PCIe slot, remove it. Store the bracket for the PCIe slot in case that
you later remove the PCIe adapter and need the bracket to cover the place.
Step 5. Install the full-length GPU adapter.
