5.7.1 PCIe Cards
PCIe cards provide ease of expandability and connection.
● Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Intelligent
Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.
5.7.2 PCIe Slots
PCIe Slots
Figure 5-41 PCIe slots
● I/O module 1 provides slots 1 to 3. If a dual-slot PCIe riser module is used,
slot 2 is unavailable.
● I/O module 2 provides slots 4 to 6. If a dual-slot PCIe riser module is used,
slot 5 is unavailable.
● I/O module 3 provides slots 7 to 8. If a single-slot PCIe riser module is used,
slot 8 is unavailable.
● Observe the following when conguring PCIe GPU cards:
● A dual-slot PCIe riser module in I/O module 1 or 2 can house only one FHFL
single-slot or dual-slot PCIe x16 GPU card in slot 1 or 4.
● A three-slot PCIe riser module in I/O module 1 or 2 does not support dual-slot GPU
card.
● A single-slot PCIe riser module in I/O module 3 can house only one HHHL single-
slot x16 GPU card.
● I/O module 3 does not support GPU cards when it is installed with a dual-slot PCIe
riser module.
● The Tesla T4 or Tesla P4 HHHL GPU supports x16 and x8 congurations.
If x16 is used, a maximum of three GPUs can be installed in slots 1, 4, and 7. If x8
is used, a maximum of seven GPUs can be installed in slots 1 to 7.
● Dedicated PCIe riser module must be used with Tesla T4 and dual-slot GPU cards.
● Observe the following rules when
conguring NVMe SSD adapters:
● If 24 x 2.5" NVMe drives are congured, two NVMe SSD adapters must be installed
in slots 1 and 4.
PCIe Riser Modules
● PCIe riser module 1 (universal)
– Provides PCIe slots 1 and 3 when installed in I/O module 1.
– Provides PCIe slots 4 and 6 when installed in I/O module 2.
