The GPU FL kit is available for the Customer. Depending on the kit ordered, the respective components are available.
CAUTION: Do not install GPUs, network cards, or other PCIe devices on your system that are not validated and tested by Dell. Damage caused by unauthorized and invalidated hardware installation will null and void the system warranty.
CAUTION: Double Width (DW) GPU only supported on Riser Configurations 3-2, 5-2, or 10-2. APOS Riser upgrades to Riser Configurations 3, 5, and 10 are not supported.
WARNING: Consumer-Grade GPU should not be installed or used in the Enterprise Server products.
Table 1. Components in the full length (FL) GPU kitThe table describes the components in the full length (FL) GPU kit.
2 x 4 (8-position) or 2 x 6 + 1 x 4 (12-position + 4-sideband)
FL - Full Length, HL - Half Length, HPR - High Performance, RC - Riser configuration
NOTE: Adding GPUs to a system may increase the power envelope of that configuration beyond the current power supplies rated capability. Confirm power increase and upgrade PSU as needed to avoid negative impact on performance.
NOTE:The power cable is imprinted with a silkscreen indicating which connector on the system board and to which GPU it should be connected. Refer to the GPU power cable matrix table below for the power cable required for your GPU.
NOTE:Populate only processor 1 slot in RC10-2, as it only supports a single processor configuration.
NOTE:^ R1P and R4P supports Double Width (DW) GPU.
NOTE:*The configuration 5-2 supports DW GPU only on slot 7 and configuration 10-2 supports DW GPU only on slot 2.
NOTE:All GPU cards require an L-type heat sink and GPU shroud, irrespective of the length. However, the cooling fan and foam are dependent on different configurations which is shown in the below table.
If applicable, connect the power cables to the GPU. To know the connectors for the GPU on the system board, see the
System board jumpers and connectors section.
See the GPU power cable matrix to know about the requirement of cables for the GPU.
