HPE servers are designed to deliver high-performance computing capabilities, with the GPU4096 being a key component for graphics-intensive applications. Here’s an overview of compatibility across different HPE server generations:

Gen10 Series #

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 #

• Compatibility: Supports a wide range of GPUs, including the GPU4096.
• Features: Offers flexible PCIe configuration for multiple GPU installations to meet complex workload demands.

Gen10 Plus Series #

HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus #

• Compatibility: May not support the GPU4096 directly due to its compact form factor and power limitations but can accommodate other suitable GPU models.
• Considerations: Ensure compatibility with the server’s size and power supply.

Gen11 Series #

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 #

• Compatibility: Supports up to 8 single-width (SW) or 3 double-width (DW) GPUs.
• Optimization: Ideal for high-performance computing tasks with support for PCIe Gen5, ensuring efficient GPU operation.

Installing the GPU 4096 in HPE Servers #

To install the GPU4096 in a compatible HPE server, follow these steps:

1. Verify Compatibility: Ensure your server model is listed as compatible with the GPU4096.
2. Power Off: Shut down the server and disconnect all cables.
3. Access the Chassis: Open the server chassis and locate the appropriate PCIe slot.
4. Insert the GPU: Carefully insert the GPU into the slot, aligning it properly.
5. Secure the GPU: Fasten the GPU with the necessary screws or fasteners.
6. Reassemble: Close the server chassis and reconnect all cables.
7. Power On and Verify: Power up the server and check that the system recognizes the GPU in the BIOS or server management software.
8. Install Drivers: Install the correct GPU drivers and any necessary firmware updates.

Note: Always consult the specific server’s user guide and the GPU’s documentation for detailed installation instructions. Ensure the server’s power supply can handle the GPU, and the cooling system is adequate.
