GPU card installation guidelines

NOTE: Internal GPU cards are supported on the Precision Rack 7910.

•The Precision Rack 7910 must be installed with one processor for 5, 6, 7 PCIe slots.

•If quantity 2 K6000 or K20 Cards are used along with 160 w processors, the system inlet temperature is restricted to 30 c to ensure adequate system cooling.

•All GPU cards must be of the same type and model.

•You can install up to two double-wide GPU cards.

NOTE: Two double-wide GPU cards configuration requires optional riser 3.

•You can install up to four single-wide GPU cards.

Installing a GPU card

1.Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.

2.Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
