Note

• Depending on the specific type, your GPU might look different from the illustration in this topic.

• Use any documentation that comes with the GPU and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this topic.

Before removing a GPU:

1. Remove the top cover. See Remove the top cover.

2. Remove the riser assembly that has the GPU installed. For instructions on how to remove the riser assembly, see Remove a riser card.

To remove a GPU, complete the following steps:

1. Depending on the GPU type, do one of the following:

   • For NVIDIA FHHL V100 GPU, remove the V100 GPU air baffle first.
