Purchased Poweredge T620, with a NVIDIA Tesla C2075 CUDA card in for use as a high end workstation and CUDA machine.
Due to the programs I must run I have set the machine up dual booting Windows 7 and Linux (this in itself took some doing).
The graphics are currently being served by the onboard Matrox G200.
I have managed, on both systems to install the CUDA graphics card, for use in programming. However I decided to attempt to use another graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GT610) as on Linux, installing the NVIDIA drivers stops me being able to access my monitors full screen resolution (a problem that I think will be more easily solved if graphics are being handled by an NVIDIA chipset on an external card). Additionally the Matrox G200 is not going to be sufficient for some of the programs I am going to be required to run in Windows.
On installing the GT610, no output was displayed (both before and after driver installation), I discovered this is also the case if I plug a monitor into the CUDA card. It seems there is some BIOS/iDRAC setting preventing output through any additional PCI graphics card.
I have tried disabling the onboard graphics controller in the BIOS, however this merely left me with no display at all, then requiring me to reset the BIOS via the jumper, a process I would prefer not to have to repeat. I also speculatively, adjusted the iDRAC network setting "Enable NIC" to "Disabled" but with no luck (though I have not tried disabling the onboard graphics via the BIOS since this change). Windows sees all graphics cards as installed and working, however does not see any displays connected to the,
If anyone has any ideas as to which settings need to be changed to enable output from PCI graphics cards, that would be amazing!
Thanks
