Nvidia-smi error no device and dmesg show "rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0"

Hi,I am trying to install nvidia driver. There is no fatal error when i run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.82.run. But nvidia-smi just return “No devices were found”.(There is a Tesla T4 device actually). I googled for a long time and still couldn’t solve it.

Dmesg shows:
[ 848.040520] NVRM: GPU 0000:3b:00.0: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffff:1155)
[ 848.040705] NVRM: GPU 0000:3b:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0

lspci shows:

Might be broken.
Please reseat the card in its slot (pull it out, put back in), check for bios update, check if it works in another system. If all fails, RMA.

RmInitAdapter failed! (0x26:0xffff:1155)

Thanks, Does “1155” have any special meaning? an error code that represents a cause of an error?

Surely but only nvidia knows and they don’t tell.
The first number seems to be a sequence number of the init process, 0x24 very early, 0x31 very late.
0x26 - blows while throttling up.
