GPU adapters and co-processors
The server supports the co-processors and graphics processing units (GPUs) that are listed in the
following table. Each is installed in a Full-length I/O Book. No other adapter can be installed in the Full-
length I/O Book. The Full-length I/O Book includes the necessary auxiliary power cables. The maximum
supported column indicates which slots each adapter is supported in. For slot locations see the
Slot
locations
section.
Notes:
These adapters are not available through CTO and cannot be shipped installed in the server
because they are installed in the Full-length I/O Book, which extends beyond the rear of the chassis
(see Figure 12). These adapters must be shipped separately from the server. Order the adapter and
Full-length I/O Book as separate options.
If an NVIDIA GPU is installed, the maximum system memory that can be installed is 1 TB, however,
it is recommended you have less than 1 TB of memory installed. See

for details.
