Double-wide GPUs vs. Single-slot GPUs
When installing double-wide GPUs in the expansion unit, you can only fit 9 GPUs. With single-slot GPU you
can fit 10.
There are two backplanes in the expansion chassis with 10 available PCIe slots combined.
Backplane A/1, can accommodate 5 double-wide GPUs or 5 single-slot GPUs
Backplane B/2, you can only fit 4 double-wide GPUs or 5 single-slot GPUs
A double-wide GPU takes up two PCIe slots. To address this issue, we enlarged the space in-between two
slots on the backplane. The EB3600-AB expansion backplane can accommodate multiple double-wide
GPUs.
