Replacing the GPU module

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
Procedure
  1. Back up all server data.
  2. Power down the server (Power down the server).
  3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
  4. Remove the GPU module from the chassis (Removing the GPU tray from the chassis).
  5. Place the tray on a flat, level work surface.
  6. Remove all GPU cards installed in the module.

Installing components into the new GPU module

  1. IMPORTANT: Install all components with the same configuration that was used on the failed system board.
    Install all components removed from the failed GPU module.
  2. Install the GPU module into the chassis.

    Depending on the chassis configuration, your GPU module might look different.

  3. Power up the server.
  4. Ensure all firmware, including option cards and embedded devices, is updated to the same versions to ensure that the latest drivers are being used.
