Physical Description
Physical Description of HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card refers to the physical appearance and dimensions of the graphics card itself. The HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card has a compact form factor, designed to fit into small form factor PCs and workstations. It is a PCIe x16 card with a low-profile design that allows it to fit into slimline cases.
The graphics card is made up of a circuit board with various components, including the graphics processor, memory chips, and power connectors. It has a single fan for cooling, which is positioned towards the front of the card. The fan draws cool air in through vents on the bracket and expels the hot air out of the back of the card.
The graphics card features a DMS-59 connector for video output, which can be converted into two VGA or two DVI outputs using a splitter cable (not included). It also has a standard PCIe power connector, which is used to supply additional power to the graphics card if required.
The dimensions of the HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card are approximately 6.6 inches in length and 2.7 inches in height, making it a compact and low-profile solution for adding graphics performance to small form factor PCs and workstations.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintaining and cleaning the HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card is important to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the product. Here are some guidelines to help you maintain and clean the graphics card:
- Turn off the PC or workstation and unplug it from the power source before handling the graphics card.
- Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface to discharge any static electricity before handling the graphics card.
- Use a soft-bristled brush or compressed air to remove any dust or debris from the fan and heatsink. Do not use a vacuum cleaner or canned air, as they can create a static charge that can damage the components.
- If there is visible dirt or grime on the card, use a clean, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe the card. Be careful not to get any liquid on the circuit board or connectors.
- Ensure that the fan is spinning freely and not obstructed by any cables or debris. A noisy or stuck fan can indicate a problem with the graphics card, and it should be inspected by a professional.
- Check the PCIe power connector and DMS-59 connector for any signs of damage or wear. If any connectors are damaged, the graphics card should be replaced.
- Reinstall the graphics card into the PC or workstation, ensuring that it is seated properly and secure.
It is recommended that you clean the HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card every six months or as needed to prevent dust buildup and maintain optimal performance. If you experience any issues with the graphics card, refer to the troubleshooting guide or contact a professional for assistance.
Power Consumption
The HP Nvidia NVS 310 Graphics Card has a maximum power consumption of 19.5 watts, which is relatively low compared to other graphics cards. This low power consumption makes it a good choice for systems with limited power supplies, such as small form factor PCs or workstations.
The graphics card is designed to be energy-efficient, with features such as Nvidia Power Management Technology and Enhanced Power Management that help to reduce power consumption during periods of low graphics activity. These features help to conserve power and extend the lifespan of the graphics card.
The graphics card requires a minimum power supply of 350 watts, which is a moderate requirement compared to other graphics cards. It also requires a standard 6-pin PCIe power connector to supply additional power if needed.
