LENOVO - 00YG993 - Lenovo NVIDIA Tesla M10 GPU PCIe passive

Overview

The Lenovo 00YG993 is a Lenovo-branded NVIDIA Tesla M10 GPU accelerator designed as a PCIe add-in card for enterprise server installations. It uses a passive cooling design, so it relies on controlled front-to-back chassis airflow rather than onboard fans—an important consideration for rack servers with high-density expansion. This makes it well-suited to data center and lab environments where thermal management is engineered at the system level.

For successful integration, confirm the host platform provides the required PCIe slot availability, power delivery, and supported firmware/BIOS. GPU compatibility is typically tied to the server’s SYSTEM BOARD, and balanced builds are often planned alongside appropriate CPU configurations to align core count and memory bandwidth with your VDI or compute profile.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics and integration points for this GPU in enterprise server deployments:

• PCIe add-in GPU form factor to install into standard server PCIe expansion slots for accelerator integration without external enclosures.
• Passive cooling design to rely on server chassis airflow for predictable thermal management in rack servers.
• Lenovo FRU 00YG993 identification to match approved parts lists and maintenance spares for Lenovo server platforms.
• Compatibility with Lenovo server families that support Tesla M10 class accelerators, including Lenovo ThinkSystem and Lenovo System x platforms (for example, select ThinkSystem SR-series and System x xSeries configurations, depending on chassis options and firmware support) to simplify platform planning.
• Designed for GPU-accelerated workloads to support VDI density planning and graphics/compute offload in virtualised environments.
• Enterprise deployment suitability to operate in 24/7 server environments when installed in a properly cooled chassis.
• Standard PCIe serviceability to simplify replacement and lifecycle maintenance compared to proprietary accelerator form factors.
• Platform-dependent power and airflow requirements to ensure stable operation when matched to the correct server chassis and fan configuration.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware. Refurbished products from Direct Hardware Supply are typically cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Choosing refurbished components can extend the lifecycle of existing Lenovo server estates, reduce electronic waste, and keep upgrade budgets under control compared to buying new.

The product includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For thermal planning in dense GPU nodes, consider validating chassis airflow and selecting the appropriate FAN options.
