GPU Card Installation Guidelines

Observe the following guidelines while installing a GPU card:

•Ensure that the GPU enablement kit is ready.

•Ensure that all GPU cards are of the same type or model.

•Each GPU card supports up to 6 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory.

•A single processor configuration only supports up to two double or single width cards on slots 2 and 4.

•A dual processor configuration supports up to four double or single width cards on slots 2, 4, 5, and 7.

•Both the processors must be installed to use slots 5 and 7.

•Two double width GPU cards on a single processor configuration and four double width GPU cards on a dual processor configuration do not support any other add-on cards.

•On a system with four double-width GPU cards, the hard-drive setting must be either onboard SATA controller or S110.

•Four double-width 300 W GPU cards (Intel 3120A) on a dual processor configuration or two double-width 300 W GPU cards (Intel 3120A) on a single processor configuration cannot operate at an ambient temperature above 30 °C.

•Two single width GPU cards on a single processor configuration and four single width GPU cards on a dual processor configuration do not support H710, H710P, and H810.

•A system with Express Flash configuration supports a maximum of two GPU cards.

•The GPU cards must be installed:

–Only on the x16 PCIe Generation 2 interfaces available on slots 2, 4, 5, and 7.

–On systems that support one 5.25-inch removable media storage devices.

–On systems with six fan configuration.

–On systems that have the 1100 W power supply.

NOTE: When you have more than two GPU cards on your system, you will need two 1100 W PSUs installed on your system.
