Installing a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit Use these instructions to install a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit installed on a blade server. To install a GPU adapter in the BladeCenter GPU expansion unit, complete the following steps: 1. Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 21. 2. If the blade server is installed in a BladeCenter unit, remove it (see "Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter unit" on page 23 for instructions). 3. If the expansion unit is installed on a blade server or another expansion unit, remove it (see "Removing an optional expansion unit" on page 26 for instructions). 4. Remove the blade server cover (see "Removing the blade server cover" on page 24 for instructions). 5. If an expansion unit is installed over the expansion unit you want to install the adapter in, remove that expansion unit (see "Removing an optional expansion unit" on page 26 for instructions). 6. If you have not already done so, touch the static-protective package that contains the GPU adapter to any unpainted metal surface of the BladeCenter unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack-component for at least 2 seconds. 7. Remove the GPU adapter from its static-protective package. 8.
