Installing the GPU card
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure that is listed in Before working inside your system.
3. If installing a new GPU card, unpack it and prepare the card for installation.
NOTE: For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
4. Remove the air shroud.
5. Install GPU card holder, if required.
NOTE: The GPU card images below are representative and may not match the actual GPU card to install.
Steps
1. If installed, remove the filler brackets.
NOTE: Store the filler bracket for future use. Filler brackets must be installed in empty expansion card slots to maintain
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the
system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
2. Remove the screws securing the filler brackets and remove the filler brackets from the system.
