Tesla C2075 Installation
A computer system with an available PCI Express ×16 slot is required 
for the Tesla C2075. For the best system bandwidth between the host 
processor and the Tesla C2075, it is recommended (but not required) 
that the Tesla C2075 be installed in a PCI Express ×16 Gen2 slot.
Because there are so many different computer systems on the 
market, the installation procedure for the Tesla C2075 can vary 
from system to system. Use the following instructions as a guideline 
and consult the system documentation for clarification of computer 
specific procedures.
Note: It is important that all power to the computer be 
removed (unplugged) before you install the computing board.
You must also discharge your body’s static electricity before 
handling sensitive components. Simply touch a grounded 
surface before beginning.
Note: To simplify reconnections, label cables as they are 
disconnected.
