GPU Kit Options

The GPU R740 Rules:

Ensure that both the processors are installed.
The processor must use a GPU kit low-profile heat sink module
All GPUs must be of the same type and model.
You can install up to three double-wide or six single-wide GPUs.
The filler bracket on the GPU air shroud must be removed before installing the GPU.
Ensure that high-performance fans, and GPU air shroud are installed.
When using systems with GPU, ensure that you install PSUs with 1100 W or higher, and set the PSU configuration to non-redundant mode.
Generally, any GPU that is greater than 75 W requires a power cable. GPUs with 75 W or less does not require a power cable.

IDSDM or vFlash card

The IDSDM with vFlash module has a dedicated slot at the back of the system chassis. This is a Dell EMC-proprietary PCIe x1 slot that uses a USB 3.0 interface to host. In the PowerEdge R440 systems, the IDSDM and vFlash card size changes from SD to microSD and the supported capacity for IDSDM microSD cards are 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB, while for vFlash the capacity is 16 GB only. The write-protect switch is built onboard on the IDSDM module.

Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS)

The Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS) is an alternative, high speed location to install the operating system. This ensures that the drive based storage is not used by the operating system. BOSS is a simple RAID solution card designed specifically for booting the system's operating system, which supports up to two 6 Gbps M.2 SATA drives. This card has a x8 connector using PCIe gen 2.0 x2 lanes, available only in the low-profile and half-height form factor
