DL380G7 and 150W graphics card support

[Michael A. McKenney]

8 SAS drives? 750W. My Seagate 15K drives on spin up do 1.13 @ 5V and 4.18 @ 12V each. Your video card is 16-18A @ 12V. 750W might be too small. I have 1000W single rail that does 90A @ 12V. If the 750W is split rail, it might not handle everything. Your processor is 95W, 8A @ 12V. I think you will be close.

Gentlemen,

I was also looking to also put the NVIDIA FX5800 on a DL380G7, but see that it's a double wide card. The quickspec for the DL380 states that the slot discussed above can only support a single wide card?

Hi,

The DL380G7 can only take single width cards and can only support up to 150W. I have just built one with an ATI V5800 card in and it fits fine and requires no extra PSU (75W card) but probably isnt up to the Quadro spec.

HP servers are not meant for CAD or A/V work. IBM has a few CAD A/V workstations that could support it.

Hi,

I read this post and I have a quetion for you?

Did you use the 494323B21 - HP PCI Express Riser Kit 1 finally?

I have a D380G7 and I want to use this card:

ATI FirePro s9000 Server Graphics Card   (http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/server/s9000#)

Works?

Any suggest to fix this request.

Thank you
