Adding a Discrete Video Card to Lenovo TS140 (280W PSU version)
After reading this I ordered the NVIDIA GT740 card. It is short enough to fit in the TS140 PICe slot without unplugging anything and has the 2 dual link DVI connectors for my 2 – 2560×1440 monitors with same connectors. On initial install I could not get the system to recognize the card so I could not install the drivers. The PSU was 280W so I upgraded to 550W PSU and still nothing.
I upgraded the BIOS from Lenova (11/16 version), still nothing. Have re-seated the card multiple times and still nothing.
Can anyone offer any help with this, not sure what else I can do. I was thinking I should return the card in case it is defective but I think I need to find out it the Lenova ThinkServer TS140 will even support the card.
