SMI300XE Sample Questions Answers

Toaccess and replace a failed GPUin theMI300X system, you mustremove the GPU tray.

Option A (Incorrect):UpdatingAMD commandsdoes not physically grant access to GPUs.

Option B (Incorrect):LSPCIis used tolist PCI devices, not to physically access the GPUs.

Option C (Incorrect):SCC configurationis unrelated to physical GPU replacement.

Option D (Correct):Removing the GPU trayis the only way tophysically access and replace GPUs.

When working withSupermicro MI300X GPU systems, it ishighly recommendedtomap or take a pictureof cable connections before disconnection.

Reasons:

Ensuring Proper Reconnection→ NVMe backplanes have multiplecritical connections(MCIO cables, power cables, data lanes, and SAS connections). Misplacing any of these cables could cause:

Boot failures

Drive detection issues

Performance degradation

Avoiding Errors in Cable Routing→ Supermicro documentation states thatimproperly routed cables can obstruct airflow, potentially leading tooverheatingin high-performance systems.

Easing Future Troubleshooting→ If issues arise after reassembly, aphoto or cable mapallows engineers toquickly verifywhether cables werereconnected properly.

This best practice isofficially recommendedinSupermicro’s service and installation guidelinesfor NVMe backplanes.

Toverify the AOC NIC installedon the system, the correctSUM (Supermicro Update Manager) commandis:

css

CopyEdit

sum.exe -i 10.1.1.100 -u ADMIN -p ADMIN -c getaocinfo

Option B (Correct):This command retrievesAOC NIC information.

Option A (Incorrect):"getaocnicinfo" isnot a valid command.

Option C (Incorrect):This syntax isincorrect and will not execute properly.

Option D (Incorrect):"getnicinfo" retrievesgeneral NIC details, not AOC NIC-specific information.

The ROCm softwarerequires at least one GPU to function. It can stilloperate with up to 2 missing GPUs, butif 3 or more GPUs are missing, ROCm commands will fail.

Option A (Incorrect):ROCmfails if 3 GPUs are missing.

Option B (Incorrect):The software can function withmore than 1 GPU missing.

Option C (Correct):ROCmcan still execute commands if only 1 or 2 GPUs are missing.

Option D (Incorrect):At least 1 GPUmust be detected for ROCm to work.

Whenremoving the GPU trayin anMI300X system, the following precautions must be taken:

Two people should remove the trayas itweighs over 70 pounds, making it unsafe for one person to handle.

Keeping the tray straightprevents it fromtilting, which candamage the chassis components.

Unnecessary movement can damage cooling fansdirectly beneath the GPU tray.

Since all the above precautions arecritical for safe removal, thecorrect answer is D (All of the above).

The correct syntax for running recipes using theAGFHC toolis:

bash

CopyEdit

/agfhc -r alljvll.yml

This command runsa specified YAML recipe file (alljvll.yml)using the AGFHC tool in aLinux-based system.

Option A (Incorrect):Contains an incorrect flag (-r should be separated).

Option B (Incorrect):Uses incorrect flag format (-t -a), which is not part of AGFHC syntax.

Option C (Incorrect):Uses Windows-style .exe format, which is incorrect for Linux.

Option D (Correct):This follows thecorrect AGFHC syntaxfor running recipes in a Linux environment.
