Yay
, Good news !!!
I added a dedicated power supply to GPU, connecting the card's 2x8 Y cable.
The BIOS shell sees the PCIe slot occupied as well as the named card.
I can now say that, with a few hardware modifications, the Dell T340 supports GPU cards, in this case the NVIDIA RTX 3080.
Now the LLM/CUDA project I had envisioned can begin...
Many thanks for the help with the specifics of dual power supplies for GPU cards.
Regards;
Sincerely,
Henri
