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

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Caveats

■ The V01 server version requires ordering a GPU upgrade kit (two PCIe risers, brace, “Y”

power cable, straight power cable, and power cable adapter). The V02 server version

requires ordering a “Y” power cable to support two GPUs or a straight power cable to

support a single GPU. The power cable plugs into the motherboard GPU power connector

and to the appropriate GPU(s).

■ Slot 5 is the preferred slot for the first GPU.

■ If two GPUs are installed, a VIC card cannot be selected because a VIC card can only be

plugged into either slot 2 or slot 5 in a 2-CPU system.

CAUTION: When using dual NVIDIA Tesla GPU cards, you must preserve at

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

CAUTION: When using NVIDIA Tesla 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.

NOTE: To discover your chassis version (V01 or V02), look at the label on the top left

side of the chassis (see

Figure 6 on page 43). The version number (V01 or V02) is

shown in the label.

NOTE: See Figure 7 on page 63 for the location of the 8-pin GPU power connector

on the motherboard. Connect cable(s) as appropriate from this connector to the

power connector on the GPU(s).
