Double-slot wide GPU in PowerEdge R720

[stuhlo]

Hi,

is it possible to equip Dell PowerEdge R720 with single double-slot-wide GPU (e.g. P5000)?

From the documentation it seems it is possible but I am not totally sure. 

Thanks in advance,

Stuhlo,

Page 64 of that manual shows the configurations, and slots, that the double wide GPU requires.

I don't believe that specific card is supported though.

Let me know if this helps

Yes, Nvidia P5000 is not officially supported by Dell, but I would like to try it anyway. Therefore I wanted to ask if there is any possible obstacle before actually trying it.

So from the manual it follows, there should not any problem with physical/spatial configuration/installation. Do you agree?

Thanks,

Miro

So long as it is placed in the specified slot then it should work, and cool as well.
