The user manual states that adding GPUs is supported only with 135w CPUs. Does anyone know why? I have 2x xeon e5-2699 V4, which happen to be 145w, and the GPU is an Nvidia Tesla M10, nothing too fancy. But I don’t understand the power requirement. I also have just a couple of sas disks. I don’t use the server as storage, so most of the bays are empty. My assumption is that 2x 1100w PSUs should handle it just fine. My only theory is that it’s a heat dissipation limit? Anyone knows? Thank you!
