Compatibility and installation caveats
Low-profile, passively cooled accelerator for validated server/edge chassis, not an open-air desktop card. Confirm the server supplies the chosen 40–60 W mode and adequate airflow. Use supported NVIDIA data-center drivers; verify OS, CUDA, vGPU and host-platform support. Its PCIe x8 link requires a compatible slot and may negotiate a lower generation.
- 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.
