GPU adapters
The server supports GPUs provided the appropriate riser card is installed (one or two riser cards
depending on the number of GPUs). For the NVIDIA Quadro K600, riser card 69Y5322 is used. For all
other GPUs, riser card 90Y5085 is used. The server provides up to 225W of external power to each GPU.
The following table lists the supported GPUs.

The following configuration rules apply when selecting GPU adapters:
General requirements for all GPUs

Use the configurator tools to ensure the necessary cables, riser cards, air baffles, and other

prerequisites are selected
When 2 GPUs are selected (2, 3 or 4 GPUs in the case of the Quadro K600), the second

processor is required and will require a special heatsink
GPUs cannot be mixed

Further restrictions apply depending on the power supplies installed as described in the Power

supplies section.
