Cisco UCS C240 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Approved Configurations

(1) GPU Kit

■ Select a GPU kit to prepare the C240 M3 chassis (V01 chassis version only) for GPU capability.

If you have a newer V02 chassis, you do not need a GPU kit.

(2) GPU Power Cables

■ When you order one or two GPUs for a V02 chassis version, you also need to order one or two

power cables. Order the “Y” power cable (UCSC-GPUCBL-88Y=) for 2 GPUs and the

“straight” power cable (UCSC-GPUCBL-88S=) for a single GPU.

(3) NVIDIA GRID GPU Slot Population Rules

Table 16 shows the rules for populating NVIDIA GRID K1 or K2 GPU cards in the server.

(4) NVIDIA Tesla GPU Slot Population Rules

Table 17 shows the rules for populating NVIDIA Tesla GPU cards in the server.

CAUTION: When using dual NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU cards, you must preserve

at least 10 mm of space between servers to ensure adequate airflow and cooling.

NVIDIA GRID K1 GPU cards do not require this gap.

CAUTION: When using GRID GPU cards, the operating temperature range is

32° to 95°F (0° to 35°C).

NOTE: Mixing different GPU cards in the same server is not supported.

NOTE: All GPU cards require two CPUs and two 1200 W power supplies in the server.
