Note

ThinkSystem NVIDIA BlueField-3 VPI QSFP112 2P 200G PCIe Gen5 x16 is supported under the following conditions:

The ambient temperature is 25°C or lower.
The processor TDP is less than or equal to 300 W.
The GPU air baffle and performance fans are used.
The server is not equipped with 24 x 2.5", 16 x 2.5" + FIO, or 12 x 3.5" front drive bays.

Standard configurations

This section provides thermal information for standard configurations.

Note

When a part with active optical cable (AOC) is installed and the rate of the part is greater than 25 GB, the ambient temperature must be limited to 30°C or lower.
In standard configurations with DWCM and standard fans, the ambient temperature must be limited to 30°C or lower when the following parts are installed:
- Broadcom 57416 10GBASE-T 2-port OCP
- Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-port OCP
