Installing or Replacing Server Components
General NVIDIA GPU Card Configuration Rules
When using NVIDIA GRID GPU cards, the operating temperature range is 32° to 95°F (0° to 35°C).
Caution
Caution When using dual NVIDIA GPU cards, you must preserve at least 10mm of space between servers to
ensure adequate airflow and cooling. The only exception is for NVIDIA GRID K1 GPU cards, which do
not require this 10mm gap.

Mixing different GPU cards in the same server is not supported.
All GPU cards require two CPUs and two 1200 W power supplies in the server.
It is not possible to use dual NVIDIA GPU cards and a Cisco virtual interface card (VIC) at the same
time. This is because dual NVIDIA GPUs must be installed in slots 2 and 5 of the server, and a Cisco
VIC must be installed in either slot 2 or slot 5. If you require two GPU cards and 10-Gb Ethernet
connectivity, you must chooses a different supported adapter that can be used in a different slot. For
supported adapters, see the Technical Specifications Sheet for the Cisco UCS C240 M3 server
