Hardware options installation  63 
Before installing a high-power GPU in the server, be sure that the power supplies support the installation of 
the card. Because of the high power requirements for the card, a 750-W or higher power supply may be 
required. For more information, see the HP Enterprise Configurator website 
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/). 
For more information on estimation of power consumption and proper selection of components, see the HP 
Power Advisor website (http://www.hp.com/go/hppoweradvisor). 
For more information about product features, specifications, options, configurations, and compatibility, see 
the product QuickSpecs on the HP Product Bulletin website (http://www.hp.com/go/productbulletin).
