Step 6.
Set the GPU adapter and the PCI riser-cage assembly aside.
Step 7.
Remove the 2U GPU tray from the compute node (see "Removing a 2U GPU tray from a compute
node" on page 111).
Step 8.
If you are instructed to return the PCI riser-cage assembly, follow all packaging instructions, and
use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
Replacing a PCI riser-cage assembly to the 2U GPU tray
Before you install a PCI riser-cage assembly to the 2U GPU tray, complete the following steps:
1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 101.
2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see "Removing a compute
node from a chassis" on page 104 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with
the bezel pointing toward you.
Note: PCI riser-cage brackets must be installed even if you do not install a GPU adapter.
To install a PCI riser-cage assembly to the GPU tray, complete the following steps:
Step 1.
Remove the cover (see "Removing the compute node cover" on page 113).
Step 2.
Install the GPU adapter in the new PCI riser-cage assembly (see "Replacing an adapter/GPU
adapter" on page 187).
Step 3.
Remove the PCI filler panel, if one is present, from the server.
Step 4.
Re-install the 2U GPU tray into the compute node (see "Installing a GPU tray into a compute
node" on page 110).
Step 5.
Align the PCI riser-cage assembly with the PCI riser connector on the 2U GPU tray; then, grasp
the rear side of the PCI riser-cage touch point and the front PCI riser-cage suitable location of
the PCI riser-cage assembly.
Step 6.
Press down firmly until the PCI riser-cage assembly is seated correctly in the connector on the
system board.
