OVERVIEW  
The NVIDIA® Tesla™ S2050 and Tesla S2070 Computing Systems are 1U rack -mount 
system s with four  NVIDIA
® Fermi  computing processors. This system connects to one or 
two host systems via one or two PCI Express cables. A Host Interface Card (HIC) is used 
to connect each PCI Express cable to a host. The host interface cards are compatible with 
both PCI Express Gen1 an d PCI Express Gen2 systems.  
The...

SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE  
The Tesla S2050 and Tesla S2070  GPU computing systems are  base d on the  Fermi GPU 
from NVIDIA. They  can be connected to a single host system via two PCI Express 
connections to that host, or connected to two separate host systems via one PCI Express 
connect ion to each host.

Figure  2.  Connection to a Single Host System  
The Tesla S2050 and Tesla S2070 can also be used with hosts that have only one available 
PCI Express slot. However, two host systems are required and should be connected as 
shown in  Figure 3. Each host system will access two of the four GPUs.

MECHANICAL SPECIFICA TIONS 
SYSTEM CHASSIS  
The Tesla S2050 and Tesla S2070 (Figure 4) use  a 1U form factor chassis and conform  to 
the EIA 310E specification for 19- inch 4-post racks with 900 mm to 1000 mm depth. The 
chassis dimensions are 1.73 inches high × 17. 5 inches wide × 28.5 inches deep.

HOST INT ERFACE CARD (HIC)  
The HIC conforms to the PCI Express low profile form factor. This card is compatible 
with both PCI Express Gen1 and PCI Express Gen2  systems. A ×8 version is also 
available for systems that do not have ×16 PCI Express slots. The HICs ship with a full -
height bracket installed and includes a low -profile bracket.   
Figure 5 shows the ×16 version of the card with...
