Installing Graphics (GPU) and Coprocessor Cards

The SC218G chassis supports six GPU cards, which are mounted in brackets to
fi t into the PCI-E 3.0 slots at the front and left rear of the chassis . NVIDIA Fermi
M2090, Fermi M2075 and NVIDIA Kepler K20 GPUs are supported. The GPU
cards may be preinstalled, the procedure below is provided for when a GPU card
needs to be replaced. See NVIDIA's web site for more details on the Tesla Fermi
and K20 GPUs specifi cations
Installing Graphics Cards
1. Identify the left and right brackets and graphics cards as illustrated below.
2. Insert the graphics cards into the brackets, aligning the mounting holes in
the cards with those in the brackets. Kepler K20 GPU cards and require
different bracket than Fermi cards. The system comes with Fermi brackets
already installed by default. If replacing Fermi GPUs with Kepler K20 GPUs,
rremove the Fermi brackets from the chassis and replace with the Kepler K20
brackets.
3. Secure each card to the bracket using the screws that are included for this
purpose. Keplers K20: remove the bracket on the end of the GPU, add a
washer (included in kit) between the plate and the pcb for each screw, then
attach the GPU to the system Kepler bracket (MCP-240-21810-0N), which
now takes the place of the Fermi bracket.
4. Carefullly position each bracket in the chassis as shown in Figure 6-13, align-
ing the four mounting holes in the top and side of each bracket with the cor-
responding mounting holes in the chassis. Pay attention to the airfl ow arrows
to install each card into the correct side of the chassis
5. Secure the bracket to the chassis by using the screws provided.
6. After a GPU card is installed, you must connect it to one of the following
power headers on the serverboard: JPW3, JPW4, JPW6, JPW7, JPW8 or
JPW11.
