[ NVIDIA // IDENTIFIED GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR ]
NVIDIA L4 24 GB PCIe accelerator
NVIDIA Ada Lovelace; AD104-class GPU, introduced 2023. This record describes the specified PCIe product configuration, not every OEM implementation.
MODEL IDENTIFICATION: L4 reference PCIe accelerator; not the differently configured L4 module used in other system designs. Match the board label, part number and revision before applying reference specifications.

Compatibility and installation caveats
Designed for qualified servers and edge systems with directed chassis airflow. Its low-profile passive heatsink is not a consumer open-air cooler. Confirm slot retention, chassis airflow, firmware/BIOS and device support. Install a supported NVIDIA data-center driver for the exact OS and record driver/CUDA versions; gaming-driver assumptions do not apply. PCIe Gen4 cards may negotiate a supported lower generation, subject to platform validation.
- 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.
