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.
