[ NVIDIA // IDENTIFIED GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR ]
NVIDIA A10 24 GB PCIe accelerator
NVIDIA Ampere; GA102 GPU. This record describes the specified PCIe product configuration, not every OEM implementation.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: NVIDIA A10 data-center PCIe card; not a GeForce RTX 30-series retail card despite shared Ampere generation. Match the board label, part number and revision before applying reference specifications.

Compatibility and installation caveats
Use in an OEM-qualified server with directed airflow and a power cable explicitly approved for the board; do not identify an 8-pin plug by shape alone. Confirm chassis, firmware and GPU virtualization support. Install supported NVIDIA data-center drivers and verify OS/CUDA/vGPU compatibility. PCIe Gen4 x16 operation requires a compatible host slot and may negotiate down.
- Check the exact card manual and server qualification list for slot, power pinout, chassis clearance, airflow and firmware support before installation.
- Preserve the driver and firmware source/version used for evaluation; do not assume consumer GeForce software or an unqualified workstation supports data-center features.
- Power only a board with undamaged connectors and verified supply/cable pinout; record condition before bench testing.
