What's part number for the power cable?

[@justjosh1400]

I know this is an old video, but I'm piecing together to purchase one of these and planning to put my k80 in there. I noticed quite a few differen blower options, and I noticed you set yours in there as well. But is there adequate space of putting a blower on there without removing the plastic protector for the memory?

[@adinzaa]

I installed the tesla m40 using the power cable shown in the video, but the card was not recognized in ubuntu or in the bios. This was on a proliant g8 with 2x750w power supply. Eventually I got it to work. The steps I did: - Updated the bios via ILO (you need to enable ilo in the bios, specify an ip adress, set up a username and connect ilo port to the router) - Used linux drivers from the nvidia website - Enabled 4g encoding in bios (press ctrl +a to enter the menu) After all of this the gpu was still not recognized. I put the server in performance power mode and the card finally got recognized

[@danielwulf4241]

For this Server Typ you need for Proc 1 on the right Side the GPU cage with part Number 752803-B21. With bending a part of the cpu 1 cooler mount and get rid of the server mainboard handle, you can install 2 GPUs in this typ of server.

[@miguellombana9847]

So if you had a single slot card like a P400 you could get away with adding it correct? I'm about to repurpose a number of GL380's and wanted to get a card in them for Plex transcodes.

[@CTOSERVERS]

Yes , single slot should work without this optional riser.

[@rcguentherwi]

How do you have your bios configured? I have an HP DL380 G8, and the bios doesn't even recognize the card, nor does the operating system. Also the G8 GPU Entitlement Kit, does not provide the right power adapter. In your video you use an adapter to go Male to Female to the power kit, I don't have this power cable, but what is the part number also?

[@CTOSERVERS]

Hi , PN you will have to google or pause the video to see , BIOS is default and no issues

[@mabughazi]

Hello I need to know what is the bios configuration to enable GPU to be the primary display

[@JittuJindal]

Have you tried configuring RTX6000 48GB X 2 units in. DL380 Gen10 servers?

[@makafre]

I am trying to replicate this using a DL380 gen9 + Tesla P100 + 800w PSUs + Pcie 3 X16 Slot riser + gen9 cable, but I get "Server Critical Fault (Service Information: Power On Fault, System Board, AUX/Main EFUSE Regulator 1 (10h))", do you have any hint on what could be going wrong here. Thanks in advance!

[@Kynne171]

Same issue here, have you found a way to resolve it?

[@Kynne171]

hey I had same issue and found out it was due to the power cable. Also try to upgrade BIOS and firmware via SPP that might help

[@GuyPaddock]

I'm trying to get an M40 working on a DL320e but the option for 4g decoding is missing from even the advanced menu.

[@jdev_]

From what I can tell the riser pictured is actually components from two separate part numbers. Here is what I found: dl380p riser with 2x PCIe x16 connectors: 662525-001 (does not come with the metal GPU cage pictured in this video). dl380p riser with 1x PCIe x16 and 1x PCIe x8 connector: 728536-001 (comes with the double-width GPU cage). There seems to also be a 2x PCIe x16 with a GPU cage: 710727-001 similar/related parts: HP DL380p/560 Gen8 3 Slot PCI-E Riser Kit: 653206-B21 HP DL380p/560 Gen8 2 Slot 2x16 PCI-E Riser Kit: 653208-B21 HP DL380p Gen8 Double Wide Riser Cage Kit: 662885-B21 HP DL380p Gen8 NEBS Conversion Cage Kit: 707865-B21 HP DL380p Gen8 Double Wide Graphic Processing Unit Drive Cage Kit: 728543-B21 HP DL380p Gen8 Double Wide Slot1 Riser Cage Kit: 752803-B21 HP 150-W PCI-E Power Cable Kit: 669777-B21 HP 225-W PCIe Power Cable Kit: 728539-B21 HP PCIe 10pin to 2x6pin Power Cable: 757156-B21 source: support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c03235291

What is the GPU cage for?

[@squirrel_ca9745]

Just out of interest sake, does anyone know if the GPU cable for the HP ProLiant DL380 Gen8 will work in the Dell PowerEdge R720?

[@CTOSERVERS]

nope

[@hacks4geeks]

What wattage is your PSU? I´m trying with a K80 in a DL560 gen8 and can´t power on the card. If I connect and external PCIe to the tesla (comming from an external PSU powered on) it can detect it. Otherwise is impossible. I have redundant 750W PSUs..

[@makafre]

did you succeed? I am having the same issue with a DL380 Gen9 and 800w PSUs

[@TimothyHora]

I‘ve read often, you need 2x 1.100W PSU Upgrade - same failing with Tesla M60 on 2x 750W PSU

[@hacks4geeks]

@@makafre Yes. You need to bypass the power directly from the PSU. Soldering the cable to 12V pins. It is not a perfect solution, but I discovered HP doesn´t power the GPU via the raiser. So itś the only solution.

[@Jozoebel]

Does P40 works on DL380p Gen8?

[@keg6256]

where can i find that cable you use in the video? the 10 pin to 8. thank you

[@CTOSERVERS]

Google / eBay / Amazon

[@worldgate989]

I have a gen9 of this machine, put a M40 in it and all the lights blink, im guessing its that power cable i was using. In a few days i get to try again.

[@makafre]

did it work for you after changing the cable?

[@otdosa]

wow is it THAT QUIET? could barely hear it. can you easily get win10 on it? drivers etc?

[@CTOSERVERS]

Hi , Yes these are quiet. Windows 10 works fine however a lot of drivers need to be installed manually and is very time consuming. We would recommend going for the Dell R720 instead , easy to setup and cheaper to get parts.

[@petrescubogdanandrei6486]

@@CTOSERVERS thanks for the info. Will look up r720.

[@sethoz22]

What size power supply do you have on this? I'm getting a PS1 light and don't really understand why. Am I out of bounds for the rated wattage?

[@CTOSERVERS]

2 x 750w

[@sethoz22]

@@CTOSERVERS Power supplies when redundant like this don't multiple power right? Its meant for fail over. Correct me if I'm wrong. I have a 750w, I'm thinking I was sent a bad cable if your configuration works without issue. Thanks for the reply

[@CTOSERVERS]

@@sethoz22 yes for redundancy only

thanks for sharing I am happen to be doing the same install , only I am working on a (HP NVIDIA QUADRO M6000 24GB MAXWELL GPU) and trying in a ProLiant DL580 Gen9, but is not coming up, I see you are using a riser and wonder that is what I am missing in my install? the server side has a block in the power connectors with 10hole adapter to insert power cables, but I see your riser comes with that connection, can you share the part number for your riser ? I need to see if maybe that is what my problem is. thanks anticipated

How? with a dual slot card?

[@StuffJason437]

​@@FongangDassiJean Uhm, Using 3 slot PCI riser. I think the model number is: HP 662524-001 . Bare in mind, there is 1 full size PCI-E slot and 2 8x slots. These risers are quite common and cheap as well.

[@FongangDassiJean]

@@StuffJason437 This means you have a single slot GPU?

Great video. Quick question. I have a HP Elite 8300 SFF Small Form Factor Business Desktop Computer, Intel Quad-Core i7-3770 3.9Ghz CPU. Is it possible to add the Tesla P100 GPU to it?

[@CTOSERVERS]

Not sure sorry

[@ZZZ-z9n3n]

-1-your psu is a 240w....the gpu is 250w -2-sff not enough place inside for a gpu so big, the cpu is in front the pcie port and the tower pc support only low profile -3- the motherboard is non standard, and is incompatible with regular tower pc -4- the psu is non-standard too, you need to convert an atx psu to make it compatible with a hp8300 sff your best bet is an e-gpu... so you need something like that : EXP-GDC v8.5 mPCIe version + your gpu + tower+ atx PSU + StarTech 1x PCIe to mPCIe adapter

Get a extra fan , T4 is passive cooled and needs air.
