Gpu Adapters And Co-Processors - IBM x3850 X6 Planning And Implementation Manual

3.17 GPU adapters and co-processors

The server supports co-processors and graphics processing units (GPUs) that are listed in
Table 3-24. Each is installed in a Full-length I/O Book. No other adapter can be installed in the
Full-length I/O Book. The Full-length I/O Book includes the necessary auxiliary power cables.
The GPUs and coprocessors have server memory minimums and maximums as indicated in
the table.
Not available via CTO: These adapters are not available via CTO and cannot be shipped
installed in the server. This is because they are installed in the Full-length I/O Book, which
extends beyond the rear of the chassis (see Figure 3-31 on page 91). These adapters
must be shipped separately from the server.
