Dell Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced embedded management and is delivered as part of the iDRAC Express License in new generation Dell servers. It simplifies platform configuration, Operating System (OS) installation, updates, and platform diagnostics in a pre-OS environment with the help of Unified Server Configurator, a graphical User Interface for 1-to-1 local access Remote Services and WSMAN interfaces for remote access.
If it’s that you are trying to install an OS, you can use Dell’s Lifecycle controller or you can use an OS native driver.
I am looking for a solution to get around the fact that the T340 does not recognize the RTX3080 GPU or probably GPUs in general. Why can't this be? The power supply configuration is sufficient (2x495w) and the 2 pcieX16 slot is accessible! I am looking to use the GPU not for display but to do calculations on an LLM/CUDA project under Linux. Wouldn't the UEFI SHELL (command, procedure, settings, ...) be a solution? I am willing to take the risk or the limitations related to a proposed solution. Thank you in advance for an answer that allows me to clarify the situation and allow me to move forward! Kind regards Henri
Not supported, I understand! But it still deserves some explanation regarding the non-recognition of GPUs and the technical possibility of workaround for those who wish to solve the problem!
DELL T340 owners deserve this at the very least, don't you think? Bet regards Henri

Hello, I'm not sure if I’m not familiar with the term “UEFI driver”.

HI Hello, TO UEFI -BIOS GURU ,
I am looking for a solution to get around the fact that the T340 does not recognize the RTX3080 GPU or probably GPUs in general. Why can't this be? The power supply configuration is sufficient (2x495w) and the 2 pcieX16 slot is accessible! I am looking to use the GPU not for display but to do calculations on an LLM/CUDA project under Linux. Wouldn't the UEFI SHELL (command, procedure, settings, ...) be a solution? I am willing to take the risk or the limitations related to a proposed solution. Thank you in advance for an answer that allows me to clarify the situation and allow me to move forward! Kind regards Henri
