(M1000e + M610) + (C410x + M2050)?
I'd already have Dell M1000e chassis and M610 blade server.
Unlike M610X blade server, the one I had does not come with GPU.
So I'm interested to get a C410x chassis and get some M2050 GPU.
I found that I need to get a host. The recommended one is C6100.
Can use M610 blade server as the host instead of C6100?
Can anyone recommend any cost effective way?

Hello Teck Boon
No, the M610 will not likely work. The C6100 was the only host server compatible with the C410x when it launched. Since launch there have been BIOS updates to make additional servers available. Here are your other options for host servers and minimum required BIOS revisions:
Since the C410x is simply a PCIe expansion slot device it still uses the PCI controller of the host server to operate the cards. The host servers can support a finite number of PCI cards, so one host server cannot support a fully populated C410x. I would highly recommend that you discuss the purchase with the Technical Sales Representative on your account team before making the purchase. The TSR will be able to go over your configuration and ensure that it will function the way you want it to.
Thanks
