How to replace the graphics card in Huawei server

Huawei's rh2288v3 server is based on the Intel C600 chipset. It generally uses the chipset's integrated graphics card by default and does not require an external graphics card. Therefore, the graphics device may not be visible in Device Manager.

If you need to use an external graphics card (such as AMD or NVIDIA graphics card), you need to follow the following steps to set it up:

Make sure the server has the graphics card driver installed, which can be obtained from the graphics card official website or Download and install the corresponding driver from the Huawei support website.

"PCISubsystemSettings", change the "EmbeddedVideoController" option to "Auto", and then change the "PrimaryVideoController" option to "PCIe".

Insert the graphics card and connect the necessary power cables. Make sure that the graphics card and riser card are correctly inserted into the PCIe slot, and that the power supply connection on the graphics card is also connected correctly.

Enter the operating system, open the device manager, and check whether the graphics card device can be recognized. If the graphics card device cannot be recognized, you can try to turn off the integrated graphics card by finding and disabling the "Intel(R) HDGraphics" device in the device manager. Then restart the server.

It should be noted that using an external graphics card will increase the power consumption and heat dissipation of the server, and may require additional fans or cooling devices, otherwise the stability and lifespan of the server may be affected. At the same time, you also need to select the appropriate graphics card model and driver version based on specific application scenarios and performance requirements.
