Some models in the 7046GT-TRF series use are a parallel processing server using
multiple-GPU cards. These multiple-GPU servers include four NVIDIA® Tesla™
GPUs with multiple x16 non-blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express connectivity that
places these systems at the forefront of today's GPU computing solutions. See
page 1-1 for information on which GPU cards are available for each 7046GT-TRF

through the VGA port on the serverboard.
2. Each GPU includes an active heatsink. Its fans work independently of the system
fans and cooling parameters.
