GPU power cable option
Connect the GPU power cable option to support high-power GPUs.
GPU installation is only supported in the 8-drive cage configurations. In these configurations, the server can
only support single GPU installation.
Before installing a high-power GPU in the server, be sure that the power supplies support the installation of
the option. Because of the high power requirements for the GPU, a 750-W or higher power supply may be
required. For more information, see the HP Enterprise Configurator website
(http://h30099.www3.hp.com/configurator/).
For more information on estimation of power consumption and proper selection of components, see the HP
