GPU card installation guidelines
•
Ensure that the processors are installed.
•
To ensure adequate cooling when one or more GPUs are installed, the ambient inlet temperature is restricted to 30°C for CPU 150
W/8 C, 165 W/12 C, 200 W, 205 W. For more information, see
Ambient temperature limitations
•
All GPUs must be of the same type and model.
•
You can install a GPU card only in the X16 PCIe connector on the risers. The X8 PCIe connector on the risers do not support GPU
cards.
•
You can install up to four double-wide GPUs.
NOTE:
If you want to install two GPUs in the same riser, you need to discard the GPU blank.
•
The
must be removed before installing the GPU.
•
Ensure that the fans are installed.
The GPU power cable has three connection methods as mentioned below:
NOTE:
If the GPU has only one power port, use a GPU power adapter converter to connect it to the GPU.
•
