Nvidia TESLA K20 User Manual

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

3 Remove any existing graphics card (if there is one). Save hardware
(such as screws and brackets) to use when installing the NVIDIA
graphics card.
!
Attention: If your system has been running for a period of
time prior to opening the panels, it is very important that you
wait until the graphics card in your system has cooled before
taking the card out of the system. Graphics cards get very hot
when they have been operating for any length of time.
4 Remove adjacent slot covers if you do not have a graphics card
installed.
Note: The Tesla K20 Active Accelerator card is double-wide so it
will require removing two slot covers.
