Lenovo M40 Tesla graphics card

Datacentre compute accelerator

The Lenovo M40 Tesla is a passive plug-in card built around the NVIDIA M40 GPU for server workloads. It fits standard PCIe slots and requires no dedicated fan, relying on chassis airflow for cooling. The card targets high-density compute rather than display output.

Suited for GPU compute clusters, not graphics

This card serves machine-learning training, inference and HPC batches in rack-mounted systems. It lacks video ports and active cooling, so it cannot drive monitors or operate in workstations without forced airflow. Buyers needing display connectivity or quiet desktop operation should choose a different product.

Passive cooling dictates chassis airflow

The sole thermal solution is a heatsink with no moving parts, so the host server must supply directed airflow across the card. Without adequate front-to-back cooling the GPU will throttle or shut down. Verify your chassis design delivers sufficient air velocity before purchasing.
