Used servers that fit a A40
The cheapest used servers whose chassis is confirmed to host a A40 (48 GB · 300 W · 2-slot · passive): full-length PCIe slots, aux power, and PSU headroom. Servers are sold without the GPU; this finds the host. Running two or more? use the multi-card finder →
1× A40 (48 GB · 300 W · 2-slot · passive). 48GB Ampere datacenter card. Passive: needs server airflow (2U+). Uses an EPS (CPU) 8-pin, not a PCIe 8-pin.
Host needs: ≥1 full-length PCIe slot · aux GPU power · ≥800 W PSU.
Idle power below is the empty chassis. Add ~300 W under load once the card is installed (1× 300 W), roughly $315/yr extra at full tilt 24/7.
