NOTE: When the GPUs are installed, the iDRAC sets the thermal warning threshold to 38° C
NOTE: If System Board Inlet Temp reaches 38° C, a warning message is logged. It is possible the GPUs may lower power
consumption to avoid thermal damage. This results in lower GPU performance.

2U HPR HSK Supports all TDP
● All configurations support 35°C without any performance degradation.
● ASHRAE A3/A4 environments are not supported.
● The GPU fan service time should be limited to 30 seconds.
● Install an HDD blank if the slot is not equipped with an HDD.
● DIMM blank is not required when the DIMM population quantity is 16 pieces or more.
