Figure F-1. Expansion Card Chassis Slots
In the diagram above, slots 1, 2, 5/6, and 7/8 can be used for GPUs. Note that due to thermal
limitations, a maximum of two GPUs should normally be installed. Positions 1 and 2 cannot
be installed in the same system; the air shrouds are mutually exclusive. Position 7/8 should
only be used after consultation with Supermicro.

Appendix F
GPUs in 2U Ultra Systems
Supermicro 2U Ultra systems support graphic processing units (GPUs) when installed with
some additional optional parts. The GPUs have cooling requirements that can be assisted
by specialized dual-level air shrouds to direct the flow from the system fans.
