Before you begin, follow the safefy guidelines and before working inside the system instructions.

  1. Remove the standard cooling fans and install the High performance (silver grade) fan or high-performance (gold grade) fan cooling fans.
    NOTE:Refer to the cooling fan and foam requirement matrix for the cooling fan and foam requirement for different configurations.
    Table 3. Cooling fan and foam requirement matrixThe table describes foam requirement for the system.

    NOTE:For more information about supported cooling fans matrix, see the thermal restriction section in Dell EMC PowerEdge R750 Technical Specifications on the product documentation page.
    NOTE:12 x 3.5 inch and rear drive configuration systems do not support GPU card.
  2. Remove the heat sink and install the required t-type heat sink.
    NOTE:All GPU cards require t-type heat sink and GPU shroud, irrespective of the length.
  3. Remove the air shroud and install the GPU air shroud.
  4. Remove the GPU air shroud top cover.
    NOTE:The GPU air shroud top cover is part of the GPU air shroud.
  5. Remove the GPU air shroud filler.
  6. Install the GPU.
    NOTE:See expansion card installation guidelines to know about risers and slots that support GPU.
    NOTE:For information about riser slot location on the system board, see the System board jumpers and connectors topic.
  7. If applicable, connect the power cables to the GPU. To know the connectors for GPU on the system board, see the System board jumpers and connectors topic.

    Refer to the GPU power cable matrix to know about the requirement of cable for the GPU.
      

    Table 4. GPU power cable matrixThe tables describe GPU power cable that is required for the GPU installation.
    Category Supported GPUs Type Vendor Cable Cable quantity
    GPU NVIDIA T4 and A2 HH and HL (FH and LP brackets) NVIDIA Not required Not required
    GPU Intel ATS-M75 HH and HL (FH and LP brackets) Intel Not required Not required
    GPU NVIDIA M10, A10, A30, A40, A16, A100, and A800 FH and FL NVIDIA 8 pin cable 1 piece per GPU riser
    GPU NVIDIA H100, L40 FH and FL NVIDIA 16 pin cable 1 piece per GPU riser
    HH - Half Height, HL - Half Length, FH - Full Height, FL - Full Length
    NOTE:Maximum of two double width GPUs with power cables or a maximum of eight single width GPUs are supported in a system.
  8. Install the full length expansion card riser or half height expansion card riser. See GPU kit components table for supported GPU risers.
  9. Install the GPU air shroud filler.
  10. Install the GPU air shroud top cover.
  11. Install the foam on the system cover. To install the foam,
    1. Place the system cover with the System Information Label (SIL) side facing up.
    2. For easier handling, peel off a small section of the adhesive cover and align the foam with the system cover.
    3. Remove rest of the adhesive cover, and install foam on the system cover.
    4. Press along the length of the foam to ensure that it is firmly affixed to the system cover.
