Cisco EXT-X580P-GPU-N | Enhanced GPU Extender Bracket for UCS X580p, NVIDIA H200 NVL

Q: What is the EXT-X580P-GPU-N used for?
A: This enhanced extender bracket is specifically designed to enable NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs to properly fit into the GPU cages of the Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node. It replaces the legacy straight extender bracket that comes with H200 NVL GPUs, ensuring correct installation and operation within the X580p modular system.

Q: Which GPUs require this enhanced extender bracket?
A: The EXT-X580P-GPU-N bracket is required exclusively for NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs when installing them in the Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node. Other supported GPUs such as the NVIDIA L40S, RTX Pro 6000, or RTX Pro 4500 do not require this specific bracket.

Q: How many brackets are needed for a UCS X580p deployment?
A: You need one EXT-X580P-GPU-N bracket per NVIDIA H200 NVL GPU. Since the X580p supports up to four FHFL dual-slot GPUs (two per GPU cage), you would need up to four brackets if deploying a full complement of H200 NVL GPUs in a single X580p node.

Q: Is this bracket compatible with other UCS systems?
A: This enhanced extender bracket is specifically designed for the Cisco UCS X580p PCIe Node and NVIDIA H200 NVL GPUs. It is not intended for use with the first-generation X440p PCIe Node or other UCS platforms.
