SMI300XE MI300X Expert (SMI300XE) Certification Exam Questions and Answers

When a GPU is not detected in theIPMI GUI reports, the recommended recovery method is topower off the system, reseat the GPU and heatsink, then power it back on and check the IPMI GUI for detection. This process ensures that the GPU is properly connected and making full contact with the system board.

Option A (pressing a GPU button for 5 seconds)is incorrect because there is no dedicated reinitialization button for GPU detection in Supermicro MI300X systems.

Option B (removing the GPU tray while powered on)is not advisable as it could cause damage to components.

Option D (reseating the motherboard tray)is unnecessary, as the issue is likely limited to GPU connectivity rather than a full system board issue.

Option C (powering off the system, reseating the GPU, and verifying in IPMI GUI)follows proper troubleshooting guidelines as documented in Supermicro’stroubleshooting and system health monitoring sections​.

TheAGFHC tool requires a dual-CPU setupto function properly. IfCPU 2 is missing, the toolfails to operate correctly.

Option A (Incorrect):Thetool does not depend on DIMM configuration.

Option B (Incorrect):Missing GPUscan cause errors, butthe tool can still function.

Option C (Correct):AGFHC requires both CPUsto be installed.

Option D (Incorrect):PSU reseating isnot requiredfor AGFHC operation.

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.

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.

When removing theGPU tray, it is crucial tokeep it leveltoprevent damage to the chassis and cooling fans below.

Option A (Correct):If the tray tilts, it canhit the upper chassis or damage fans below.

Option B (Incorrect):There isno specific 16-degree angle requirement.

Option C (Incorrect):Work surface placement does not impact removal safety.

Option D (Incorrect):Thescrews must be removed first, but they do not affect the removal angle.
