L2 power board Node power Chassis DC power
1@250W 35°C 250W 658W 2989W
2@250W 35°C 447W 908W 3989W
3@225W 30°C 641W 1158W 4989W
NOTE:
3 GPU power was calculated at 250W. Even though the GPU is power cap at 225W, power still increased
to 250W level for duration of less than ~150msec. This is due to GPU power cap respond time.
Node power configuration: 2x95W CPU, 12xDIMM, no HBA, 4SFF HDD.
Chassis DC power was calculated with 8 non-redundant fans at 100% with four 2U per chassis.
Only the M2090 GPU can power capped at 250W and is limited to only two M2090 GPUs per node.
To set the power capping values with the NVIDIA iromfoem tool:
1. To download the NVIDIA iromfoem tool with the following internal URL:
http://tappet.cce.hp.com/~accteam/kits/nvidia/iromflash/iromfoem
2. List the available power cap values:
Iromfoem - - listpwrcap
3. Set the power cap value:
iromfoem - - wrpwrcap <value>
4. Read current power cap value:
iromfoem - - rdpwrcap
NOTE: To target a specific GPU, use the index flag. If the flag is not set, you will be prompted to
select which GPU to change.
Example: set GPU1 to 250W
Iromfoem i1 - - wrpwrcap250
GPU installation
Removing the 2 GPU bracket
