- Up to 8 SXM2 NVLink GPU (300 GB/s interconnect) or PCIe GPU modules; NVIDIA Quadro RTX6000/RTX8000 and up to 12 × Tesla T4 supported (Tesla T4 low-profile, uses fabric-adapter PCIe slots)
Expansion
- System board
- 1 × PCIe 3.0 x16, full-height half-length (Proc 2)
- SXM2 GPU module
- 4 × PCIe 3.0 x16, full-height half-length (2 on Proc 1, 2 on Proc 2)
- PCIe GPU module
- 4 × PCIe 3.0 x16, low-profile; topology (4:1 or 8:1 per CPU root complex) selected in BIOS
- GPU topology
- 8 GPU: single fixed topology (NVLink Hybrid Cube Mesh); 4 GPU: factory-installed Topology A (fully connected) or Topology B (higher CPU/memory bandwidth) FIO kits
- Fabric adapters
