GPU card installation guidelines

  • Ensure that both the processors are installed.
  • The processor must be of 135 W or less.
  • The processor must use a GPU kit low-profile heat sink.
  • Due to the high power consumption of GPUs, the ambient inlet temperature is restricted to 30°C to ensure adequate cooling when one or more GPU cards are installed.
  • Ensure that the GPU enablement kit is available.
    The GPU enablement kit includes:
    • Low-profile heat sinks
    • Power cables for the GPU cards
    • Filler brackets with closeout EMI shield for unoccupied PCIe slots
  • All GPU cards must be of the same type and model.
  • You can install up to two double-wide GPU cards.
    NOTE: Two double-wide GPU cards configuration requires optional riser 3.
  • You can install up to four single-wide GPU cards.
  • Ensure that your system uses the redundant 1100 W power supplies.
    NOTE: When using the system with the Nvidia K80 GPU card, ensure that you install both PSUs with a minimum of 1100 W each and set the PSU configuration to non-redundant mode.
