About this task

The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and

other information that you must consider when you install an adapter:

Attention: Do not install the optional NVIDIA Grid K1 and K2, the NVIDIA Tesla

K20 and K40, and the NVIDIA Quadro K4000 and K6000 adapters in systems

containing 1TB of system memory or more. If these options are installed in systems

with 1TB of memory or more, it might cause undetected data corruption and

system instability. These options are only supported in systems containing less

than 1TB of memory. This limitation applies to both the 4-socket (4U) and the

8-socket (8U) configurations. For more information, see RETAIN tip H213010 at
