About this task
See “PCIe adapter placement rules and slot priorities for the 8335-GTG, 8335-GTH, or 8335-GTX
system” on page 20 for information and capabilities of the PCIe slots.
Attention: For safety and airflow purposes, if you remove parts from the system, you must ensure
that:
• PCIe tailstock fillers are present.
• Graphic processor unit (GPU) airflow baffles are present.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is
completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack,
or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock
when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in this service process you move away from the
system, it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for
at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
2. Pick the correct slot for the PCIe adapter as shown in Figure 38 on page 80.
