GPU card installation guidelines
Observe the following guidelines while installing a GPU card:
• Ensure that the GPU enablement kit is ready.
• Ensure that all GPU cards are of the same type or model.
• Each GPU card supports up to 6 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory.
• A single processor configuration only supports up to two double or single width cards on slots 1 and
3.
• A dual processor configuration supports up to four double or single width cards on slots 1, 3, 6, and 7.
• Both the processors must be installed to use slots 6 and 7.
• Two double-width GPU cards on a single processor configuration and four double width GPU cards
on a dual processor configuration do not support any other add-on cards.
• On a system with four double-width GPU cards, the hard-drive setting must be either onboard SATA
controller or S110.
• Four double-width 300 W GPU cards (Intel 3120A or Intel 7120A) on a dual processor configuration or
two double-width 300 W GPU cards (Intel 3120A or Intel 7120A) on a single processor configuration
cannot operate at an ambient temperature above 30 °C.
• The 3.5 inch x18 hard-drive system configuration supports two double-width 300 W GPU cards (Intel
3120A or Intel 7120A) on slots 3 and 6 on dual processor configuration, and one double-width 300 W
GPU card (Intel 3120A or Intel 7120A) on slot 3 on single processor configuration.
• Two single-width GPU cards on a single processor configuration and four single-width GPU cards on
a dual processor configuration do not support H730, H730P, and H830 PERC cards.
• A system with Express Flash configuration supports a maximum of two GPU cards.
• The GPU cards must be installed:
– On the x16 PCIe Generation 3 interfaces available on slots 1, 3, 6, and 7.
– On systems that support one 5.25-inch removable media storage devices.
– On systems with six fan configuration.
– On systems that have 1100 W and 1600 W power supply.
NOTE: When you have more than two GPU cards on your system, you will need two 1100 W
PSUs installed on your system.
NOTE: For Nvidia Tesla m60A GPGPU support, add another adapter cable to fit the M60 Power
pins.
