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.
