Replacing GPUs
Individual GPU and GPU baseboards are recommended to be serviced by Supermicro due
to the optimized density of the 2U form factor.
Prior to submitting an RMA for GPUs, Nvidia requires that their Field Diagnostic tool is first run
to isolate hardware failures and obtain a log file for review. Check with Supermicro Technical
Services for more details. In addition, more details can be found in Nvidia reference document
Baseboard Field Diagnostics Software Guide DU-09163-001.
Replacing GPU Baseboard Module
5.
Run Nvidia's Field Diagnostic tool to isolate failures and obtain a log file for review.
6. Remove the GPU heatsinks on the GPU baseboard so that it is lighter and easier to
handle.
7. Disconnect the GPU baseboard module's 54V power cable by extending the red colored
finger release of the Radsok/Surlok cable (cable #27 as illustrated in
) and
pulling up. Use a small plastic tool or Velcro loop to gain access to the finger release if
needed.
8. Unscrew the GPU baseboard latch and T-handle screws using a T10 torx head driver
9. Release the "bail latch", which will separate the GPU baseboard from the PCIe transition
board assembly. The baseboard should then be loose.
10. Hold the "T" handle with one hand while lifting the bail latch at the other end of the
baseboard.
11. Lift the GPU baseboard vertically and at a slight angle to remove the GPU baseboard.
Be careful not to scratch the GPU baseboard or your hands on the chassis metal edges.
For installation reverse the above steps.
