Expansion board thermal requirement
The fan cage option is required to meet the system thermal requirement when the following expansion board options are
installed:
• Smart Array P-class 800-series Gen10 controllers
• GPUs
• HPE EDR InfiniBand adapters
• High-performance Ethernet controllers
For fan cage information, see
For a list of specific models supported for each of these expansion options, see the product QuickSpecs on the server
website at
https://www.hpe.com/servers/ml350-gen10.
Accelerator options
This server supports various accelerator options to meet your computational and graphics workload requirements. For a
list of supported accelerator models, see the server QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (
www.hpe.com/servers/ml350-gen10).
• PCIe workload accelerators – These options are PCIe card
‑
based, direct

state storage
technology directly on the PCI bus to boost I/O performance and reduce latency to scale in line with your processing
requirements.
• Computation and graphics accelerators – These options deliver accelerated compute performance for a range of deep
learning, high-performance computing (HPC), and graphics-intensive applications.
Accelerator installation information
• The PCIe3 x16 expansion slots 1, 3, 5, and 7 support both single-width and double-width accelerators.
• The maximum number of accelerators supported in this server depends on the drive configuration and whether the
accelerator is single- or double-width.
• This server does not support the installation of different accelerator models in the same system.
• This server supports NVIDIA NVLink technology for specific accelerators. This technology allows two matching
accelerators to communicate directly through a high-speed interconnection—NVLink bridge. This interconnection
effectively combines the available memory of both accelerators for increased workload performance. For more
information, see the
• Some accelerator options shipped with an extender bracket attached or included in the option box. See the accelerator
documentation for information on when this extender bracket might be required for installation.

GPU auxiliary power cabling
Depending on the maximum power requirement of the GPU, an external auxiliary power connection might be required.
See the GPU documentation for the specific auxiliary power connections required for that model.
The GPU auxiliary power cable kit consists of two cables of different lengths for:
