Description

The HPE NVIDIA L40S 48GB PCIe Accelerator delivers exceptional compute performance for AI inference, professional visualisation, and large-scale data centre workloads. Equipped with 48GB of GDDR6 ECC memory and NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, the L40S is purpose-built for multi-workload environments spanning generative AI, rendering, and machine learning — all within a single-slot PCIe form factor compatible with HPE ProLiant rack servers.

Designed for enterprise-grade deployments, the L40S supports NVLink, NVIDIA vGPU software, and MIG (Multi-Instance GPU) partitioning, enabling flexible resource allocation across virtualised and bare-metal environments. Its passive cooling design suits high-density server configurations where airflow is managed at the chassis level.

FAQs

Q: What workloads is the HPE NVIDIA L40S 48GB PCIe Accelerator best suited for?
A: The L40S is optimised for AI inference, generative AI, large language model (LLM) serving, professional visualisation, rendering, and HPC workloads. Its 48GB GDDR6 memory makes it particularly effective for memory-intensive AI models that require large VRAM capacity.

Q: Which HPE servers is the L40S compatible with?
A: The NVIDIA L40S is compatible with HPE ProLiant servers that feature PCIe Gen 4 x16 slots and support high-wattage GPU accelerators, including the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus and DL380 Gen11 platforms. Always verify server configuration and airflow specifications with HPE before ordering.

Q: Does the L40S support virtualisation and multi-tenant GPU workloads?
A: Yes. The NVIDIA L40S supports NVIDIA vGPU software for virtualised GPU workloads and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) partitioning, allowing a single card to be divided into multiple isolated GPU instances — ideal for cloud service providers and enterprise virtualised environments.

Q: Does this GPU require active cooling or special chassis airflow?
A: The NVIDIA L40S uses a passive cooling design, meaning it relies entirely on chassis airflow from system fans. It is designed for rack-mount servers with managed airflow and is not suitable for desktop workstations without active GPU cooling.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE NVIDIA L40S 48GB PCIe Accelerator in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist supplying HPE server components including GPU accelerators. Contact our team for pricing, availability, and compatibility guidance tailored to your server environment.

Q: How does the L40S differ from the NVIDIA A100 or H100?
A: The L40S is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and is optimised for mixed AI inference and visualisation workloads, including RT Core rendering. The A100 and H100 (Hopper architecture) are targeted at pure AI training at scale with NVLink fabric support. The L40S offers a cost-effective alternative for inference-heavy and multi-purpose data centre deployments.
