OVERVIEW
The NVIDIA® Tesla® K20 graphics processing unit (GPU) active accelerator board is a
PCI Express, dual-slot full height (4.376 inches by 10.5 inches) form factor computing
module comprising of a single GK110 GPU. The Tesla K20 active accelerator is designed
for workstations and offers a total of 5 GB of GDDR5 on-board memory and supports
PCI Express Gen2.
The Tesla K20 can be configured by the OEM or by the end user to enable or disable
ECC that can fix single-bit errors and detect double-bit errors. Enabling ECC will cause
some of the memory to be used for the ECC bits, so the user available memory will
decrease by 10%. On the Tesla K20, the register files, cache, and DRAM are ECC
protected.

POWER CONNECTORS
The Tesla K20 GPU active accelerator board supports two 6-pin PCI Express power
connectors on the "east end" of the board.
Auxiliary 6-Pin PCI Express Power Connector
The Tesla K20 GPU active accelerator board is a high powered board solution and it
utilizes power from the PCI Express connector as well as the external power (a single 6pin PCI Express power connector is required for the Tesla K20). Figure 4 shows the
specification, and Table 5 shows the pinouts for the 6-pin external PCI Express power
connector.

Ensure the system can accommodate standard mounting of “Type B” form factor
boards using the NVIDIA extenders.
Using the standard NVIDIA extender ensures greatest forward compatibility with
future NVIDIA product offerings.
If the standard extender will not work, OEMs may design a custom attach method
using the extender mounting holes on the heat sink baseplate. The extender mounting
holes will vary among Tesla products, so designing for flexibility is recommended.
