Graphics

Integrated
Standard integrated video, 16 MB video memory, up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz (32 bpp)
GPU options
NVIDIA L40 48GB PCIe; NVIDIA H100 80GB PCIe; both require the DL560 Gen11 GPU Enablement Kit (P54816-B21)
GPU placement
Double-wide GPUs only in primary riser slot 2 and secondary riser slot 5 (riser config 2, x16/x16/x16), up to 10.5 in card length
Limits
GPU support depends on chassis and cooling: e.g. L40 needs 25-30 C max ambient on air-cooled 2P/4P configs; liquid-cooled CTO does not support GPUs

Expansion

Slots
Up to 6 PCIe 5.0 slots on two risers (primary and secondary, either can be used in either position), plus 2 OCP 3.0 slots
Riser 1 (P54779-B21)

Riser 2 (P54780-B21)
x16/x16/x16, full-height 3/4-length; needs a cable kit to the motherboard (2P) or mezzanine card (4P) when both risers use this 3x16 config
