Cisco HX-GPU-M60 | Tesla M60 Dual-GPU Accelerator, 16GB GDDR5, 300W

Q: What is the Cisco HX-GPU-M60 used for?
A: The HX-GPU-M60 is designed for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), virtualized graphics workstations, and GPU-accelerated applications in Cisco UCS and HyperFlex environments. It supports NVIDIA GRID software to deliver professional graphics to up to 32 concurrent virtual desktop users.

Q: Which Cisco servers are compatible with the HX-GPU-M60?
A: The HX-GPU-M60 is compatible with Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 nodes and select UCS C-Series rack servers that support PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and provide dual 1400W power supplies. Always verify compatibility with your specific server model before deployment.

Q: Does the Tesla M60 require NVIDIA GRID software licenses?
A: Yes, to enable GPU virtualization and vGPU features, NVIDIA GRID software and appropriate vGPU licenses are required. The hardware is vGPU-ready but licensing must be obtained separately from NVIDIA or authorized partners.

Q: What are the power requirements for the HX-GPU-M60?
A: The Tesla M60 has a maximum power consumption of 300W and requires an 8-pin CPU-style auxiliary power connector. Cisco HyperFlex HX240c M4 nodes require dual 1400W power supplies when installing this GPU, along with a 300W GPU hardware conversion kit.

Q: How many virtual desktops can a single Tesla M60 support?
A: The Tesla M60 can support up to 32 concurrent users (16 per GPU) for knowledge worker and task worker profiles, or fewer users for power user and graphics-intensive workloads. Actual user density depends on application requirements and vGPU profile configuration.
