Dell Poweredge T630 + Nvidia A16 GPU

Sure, here's a revised version:

---

Hi,

I am attempting to install an Nvidia A16 GPU into a Dell PowerEdge T630 server. To power the GPU, I connected an X7C1K GPU power supply expansion board. However, when I start the server, I encounter the error "PSU 0034: An under voltage fault detected on PSU 2. Check power source." My power source is 1600 watt.

 

Any idea what might be going on here?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

 

Firstly, as usual, do check if all firmware of the server are up to date. 

 

Second, do you have a lower memory GPU to test the server's issue with? According to the user guide, T630 supports up to Gen3 PCIe card and 6GB of dedicated memory only. https://dell.to/3ShDfbO

 

Can you also swap the PSU to check if the fault follows the PSU or slot? Are you using Dell GPU power cable, DPN# DRXPD?

I was able to get the server to power up. However for cooling I may need to install additional cooling fans to the gpu. Fans like Supermicro FAN-0065L4. Any idea how I can power these type of fans on Dell Poweredge T630?
