If you are removing the GPU permanently, install a filler bracket. NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion card slot 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. The filler bracket is necessary to maintain proper thermal conditions. Next steps Replace the GPU. Installing a GPU Prerequisites 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety Instructions. 2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system on page 45. 3. Remove the GPU air shroud cover. 4. Remove the expansion card riser. Steps 1. Connect the GPU power cable to the connector on the GPU. 2. Open the expansion card latch and the card holder latch on the riser. 3. Remove the existing expansion card or filler bracket from the riser.
