1

Reduce the number of GPU cards or PCIe cards
installed in the system. For more information, see
"Example Configurations With Maximum Number of
GPUs Supported".

NOTE:

The maximum number of PCIe devices supported

depends on the memory resource requirements of each
individual card.

2

Set the C410x port configuration to 2:1 or 4:1 mode.

NOTE:

The C410x does not support the 8:1 mode in the

M610x, R710, and R410 systems due to limited system
resources for PCIe devices.
