Removing the filler from the GPU tray

Use this information to remove the filler from the GPU tray.

Before you remove the filler from the GPU tray, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
  3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.

To remove the filler from the GPU tray, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Press on the touch point of the filler and lift the filler up.

  3. Remove the filler from the GPU tray and set it aside.
    Attention
    For proper cooling and airflow, replace the filler before you turn on the compute node. Operating the compute node with the filler removed might damage GPU tray components.
