Compatibility and installation caveats
Requires server airflow and chassis clearance for a passive dual-slot board. Do not interchange PCIe and SXM platform assumptions. Confirm auxiliary connector wiring from the server/OEM manual, host firmware and supported GPU layout. Use a supported data-center driver and check OS, CUDA and MIG/vGPU support for the intended workload.
- 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.
