R730 - Drivers for NVIDIA Grid K2 GPUs
I received an R730 with Dual NVIDIA GRID K2 GPUs, but, am not able to find drivers for them.
Dell's driver download page (here) has drivers for R720 it seems. It asks me to select the Operating system and says the driver is not compatible (with Windows 2019 & the R730 Service tag). The driver at the R730 Support page is for Windows 2012. Where can I get a Win 2019 driver ? Device manager is not able to find a driver and is displaying
No Events found!

Hello https://dell.to/3yMlxmB.User,
While the Grid K2 is supported on the R730, it looks like only up to Windows Server 2016
If it works on Windows Server 2019 I suspect it will be via native drivers.
I would recommend make sure BIOS and Chipset are up to date:
Intel C600/C610/C220/C230/C2000 Series Chipset Drivers

Dell Server PowerEdge BIOS R630/R730/R730XD Version 2.16.0

NVIDIA does not show support Grid K2 and Windows Server 2019

Hello https://dell.to/42dB4cC.User,
We have this driver for the R730. It doesn't specify K2 but you could check if it allows install.
Windows 2016 391.29 Nvidia driver
https://dell.to/3YVcr1p
I haven't heard about supplying drivers when a NVIDIA Enterprise Account is required.
It may be that that Account is required even if purchased through Dell.
Sense you're still under warranty I may recommend contacting Support directly 1-800-945-3355.

Thanks for the comprehensive details, Charles. I could try the win2016 Drivers, but I need an "NVIDIA Enterprise Account to download the driver package" (which I do not have).
Can Dell provide a link to download this driver (for use in R730)? The server is still under warranty if that matters.

"391.29 Nvidia driver" does not work. It has drivers for the Tesla cards, but not the GRID cards. I will try the support number. Thanks.
