Hi, I try to use displaymodeselector to change to graphic mode for my nvidia A40, but they show :
WARNING: This operation updates the firmware on the board and could make
the device unusable if your host system lacks the necessary support.
Device:00:01:00:00=10DE:2235:10DE:145A GPU
ERROR: In order to avoid the irreparable damage to your graphics
adapter it is necessary to unload the NVIDIA kernel driver first:
I tried to : rmmod nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia
They show:

ROM image is not present.
Cannot set GPU mode for this adapter
Nvflash CPU side error Code:2Error Message: Falcon In HALT or STOP state, abort uCode command issuing process.
And nvidia-smi not work after that: No devices were found. Before use displayselector, my A40 always load in ~100W/300 (nothing used) and high temp (90C)
The A40 doesn’t have fans of its own, it needs the server chassis to provide that. You can’t use it in a regular desktop/workstation enclosures without providing the needed cooling, e.g. printing a funnel on a 3D printer and attaching a fan.
Again,
The A40 doesn’t have fans of its own,
you can’t run it in a normal desktop, it’s overheating and shutting down. Putting the box in another room doesn’t help.
Hi, I don’t use like normal desktop, just remote into for training, I check temperature idle ~30C and 70-80C when training in the server room with high speed fan. It’s good this temp I think, my A6000 have fan and ~ 70C when training.
