PLATFORM AND SOFTWARE

  • Passive cooling requires qualified server airflow
  • CPU 8-pin auxiliary power connector
  • MIG supports up to four GPU instances, subject to supported profiles and software
  • Check the exact board part number for CEC security-controller differences
  • Nominal height is not transcribed from the mechanical drawing; consult the linked brief
  • Confirm the exact driver, CUDA runtime, framework and server operating-system combination before purchase
  • Historical minimum software versions in the product brief do not establish current release qualification
  • vGPU and enterprise software entitlements must be checked separately from ownership of the card

Maximum board rating, not complete system consumption

INTERCONNECT

PCIe Gen4 x16

Host interface; rate not normalized from this product brief

NVLink

200 GB/s. Total maximum Rx plus Tx bandwidth; one bridge to one adjacent A30, not an arbitrary all-to-all fabric
