Removing a 2U GPU tray from a compute node

Use this information to remove a 2U GPU tray from a NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node.

Before you remove a 2U GPU tray from a compute node, complete the following steps:
  1. Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. If the compute node is operating, shut down the operating system.
  3. Press the power button to turn off the compute node (see Turning off the compute node for more information).

To remove the 2U GPU tray from a compute node, complete the following steps:

  1. Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
  2. Remove the PCI riser-cage assembly from the 2U GPU tray (see Removing a PCI riser-cage assembly from the 2U GPU tray).
  3. Press on the release latch and slide the 2U GPU tray toward the rear of the compute node.
