6.6 GPUs
Supermicro 2U Ultra systems support graphic processing units (GPUs) when installed
with some additional optional parts. GPUs have cooling requirements that can be assisted
by specialized dual-level air shrouds to direct the flow from the system fans. Refer to the
Supermicro product page to see the list of compatible GPUs
•
Single width GPUs can be used in just the same way as PCIe expansion cards.
•
Double width GPUs can be used in slots 1, 2, 5, and 7. When slots 5 and/or 7 are used,
then slots 6 and 8, respectively, are not available. Also note that, due to thermal limitations,
not all four slots can be filled for some GPU models.
