NVIDIA Tesla D870

Overview

The NVIDIA®Tesla™D870 Deskside Computing System features two Tesla

graphics processing units (GPUs) and can be used either alongside a workstation or

alternatively, two deskside systems can be rack-mounted for four Tesla GPUs in a

3U configuration (it is possible to rack-mount just one deskside unit).

The Tesla D870 connects to a host workstation via a low-power PCI Express ×16

or ×8 adapter card.

System Chassis

The Tesla D870 can be used as a deskside unit or alternatively, two deskside systems

can be rack-mounted for four Tesla GPUs in a 3U configuration. The rack-mounted

deskside conforms to the EIA 310E specification for 19” 4-post racks with 900 mm

to 1000 mm depth.

Note: It is also possible to rack-mount a single deskside in a 3U configuration.

The chassis dimensions are:

Tower desktop: 9.54 inches high × 5.94 inches wide × 20.6 inches deep

Rack Mount: 5.25 inches (3U) high × 8.5 inches wide × 18 inches deep

Host Adapter Card

The NVIDIA PCI Express interface card (Figure 4) comes with a standard (long)

bracket as well as a shorter low profile bracket that conforms to the PCI Express

low profile form factor. The specifications for the interface card are:

Form factor: 6.6 inches × 4.376 inches

Power draw: 10 W (maximum)

Cooling: Passive heat sink (no fan)

Bus: PCI Express ×16

An optional PCI Express ×8 host interface card can be purchased separately.
