Figure 6-15. Expansion Card Chassis Slots
•
Single width GPUs can be used in just the same way as PCIe expansion cards.
•
Double width GPUs can be used in slots 1, 2, 5, and 7. When slots 5 and/or 7 are used,
then slots 6 and 8, respectively, are not available. Also note that, due to thermal limitations,
not all four slots can be filled for some GPU models.
See Chapter 3,
for details on the various riser card options.
6.6 GPUs
Supermicro 2U Ultra systems support graphic processing units (GPUs) when installed
with some additional optional parts. GPUs have cooling requirements that can be assisted
by specialized dual-level air shrouds to direct the flow from the system fans. Refer to the
Supermicro product page to see the list of compatible GPUs
