HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Tesla C2075 hardware involves
opening up your computer.
Note: All hardware must be installed prior to installation of
the drivers.
Tesla C2075 Installation
A computer system with an available PCI Express ×16 slot is required
for the Tesla C2075. For the best system bandwidth between the host
processor and the Tesla C2075, it is recommended (but not required)
that the Tesla C2075 be installed in a PCI Express ×16 Gen2 slot.
Because there are so many different computer systems on the
market, the installation procedure for the Tesla C2075 can vary
from system to system. Use the following instructions as a guideline
and consult the system documentation for clarification of computer
specific procedures.
Note: It is important that all power to the computer be
removed (unplugged) before you install the computing board.
You must also discharge your body’s static electricity before
handling sensitive components. Simply touch a grounded
surface before beginning.
Note: To simplify reconnections, label cables as they are
disconnected.


HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS

1 Turn off your computer and monitor and disconnect the power cord at
the outlet or at the back of your system (depending on the system).
2 Open your computer chassis (refer to your system documentation
for details).
3 Remove the slot bracket for the two adjacent slots, if they are still
covered. The Tesla C2075 computing board is a dual-slot board and
will take up two (2) slots. Save any hardware (such as screws) to use
to anchor the Tesla C2075 computing board after it is seated properly.
4 Connect the 8-pin connector or the two 6-pin connectors from the
power supply to the 8-pin and 6-pin connectors on the board. (it is ok
to connect both an 8-pin and a 6-pin connector to the board, but not
required)
The Tesla C2075 will occupy
two slots.


HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
5 Reinstall the computer cover and any cables that were
removed earlier.
Note: If you are using one 8-pin power connector, you must
ensure that the power supply can drive enough power
through the 8-pins to the power connector. (up to 150W
through a single 8-pin connector)
6-pin power connectors
Connect one (1) 6-pin PCI Express
power connector on the edge of the
board
8-pin power connector
Connect one (1) 8-pin OR
one (1) 6-pin PCI Express
power connector on the
edge of the board
