OVERVIEW The NVIDIA GRID™ K2 is a dual-slot 10.5 inch PCI Express Gen3 graphics card with two high-end NVIDIA® Kepler™ graphics processing units (GPUs). The NVIDIA GRID K2 has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory (4 GB per GPU), and a 225 W maximum power limit. The NVIDIA GRID K2 graphics board uses a passive heat sink that requires system airflow to properly operate the card within thermal limits. It is designed to accelerate graphics in virtual remote workstation and virtual desktop environments.

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS BOARD DIMENSIONS The NVIDIA GRID K2 board (Figure 2) conforms to the PCI Express Gen3 ×16 (4.376 inches by 10.5 inches) form factor. Figure 2 shows the board without the cover. 10.5 inches 4.376 inches Figure 2. NVIDIA GRID K2 Board without Cover Note: NVIDIA GRID K2 production boards will ship with a cover.
Mechanical Specifications BRACKET OVERVIEW The NVIDIA GRID K2 board features a vented bracket, as shown in Figure 3. If you are an OEM who qualifies for bracket modifications, you have the option of receiving your modules with no bracket installed. Figure 3.
Mechanical Specifications If you need to remove the standard bracket follow these steps: 1. Remove the two shoulder screws on the back side of the PCB. 2. Remove the two flat head screws on the bracket exhaust face. 3. Remove the bracket. 4. Slide the washer in between the PCB and the backplate to maintain clearance between the PCB and the backplate. 5. Attach the shoulder screws. Figure 4.

Power Connectors POWER SPECIFICATIONS The NVIDIA GRID K2 board utilizes power from the PCI Express connector as well as one or two auxiliary power connectors. Table 4 lists the supported configurations Table 4.
THERMAL SPECIFICATIONS The NVIDIA GRID K2 graphics board uses passive heat sinks that require system airflow to properly operate the card within thermal limits. Table 5 provides thermal information necessary to deliver reliable operation of the NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU. This information is not intended to provide a specific thermal management solution. For more detailed information regarding thermal specifications for the NVIDIA GRID K2 board, refer to the NVIDIA GRID K2 System Design Guide (DG-06546-001).
RELIABILITY The mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings for the NVIDIA GRID K2 are tabulated in Table 6. The calculation of these values uses the Bellcore’s Parts Count method in controlled environments. Table 6.
