INSTALLATION

5 Remove the existing graphics card if present. If a
retention bar is holding the card in place, remove
the screw securing the card. OR, If there is no
existing graphics card, remove the access covers
from the primary x16 PCI slot.
The Quadro RTX 4000 is a single slot
GPU and will only require removing
one PCI x16 slot cover. The Quadro
RTX 8000, RTX 6000, and RTX 5000
are dual-slot GPUs and will require
removing two adjacent slot covers.
