Question 310

During an NVIDIA AI factory acceptance test, engineers discover: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load. Which TWO complementary elements are needed: the correct technical action and the strongest independent diagnostic evidence? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect PDU outlet maps, breaker assignments, dual-cord wiring, load readings and approved failover test logs.
  2. Measure optical power, FEC and error rates, clean and inspect approved interfaces, then validate stable link margin.
  3. Conclude every optical path is healthy solely because the port state is Up at the monitoring poll instant.
  4. Review DOM received power, pre/post-FEC BER, symbol or CRC counters, retrain events and clean-connector test results.
  5. Restore planned airflow direction, containment and intake clearance, and validate inlet thermal conditions at loaded nodes.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

This is an appropriate correction for Optical received power and signal integrity: Measure optical power, FEC and error rates, clean and inspect approved interfaces, then validate stable link margin. Observed scenario: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load. The governing mechanism is: A link can remain operational while operating near a physical error threshold that degrades collective communication.

D:

This is the direct operational evidence to investigate: Review DOM received power, pre/post-FEC BER, symbol or CRC counters, retrain events and clean-connector test results. Observed scenario: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative is relevant to Dual-feed rack power and PDU mapping but does not directly resolve the current Optical received power and signal integrity issue: Inspect PDU outlet maps, breaker assignments, dual-cord wiring, load readings and approved failover test logs. Observed scenario: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load.

C:

This tempting but unsafe shortcut is not a sufficient remediation for Optical received power and signal integrity: Conclude every optical path is healthy solely because the port state is Up at the monitoring poll instant. A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load. A link can remain operational while operating near a physical error threshold that degrades collective communication.

E:

This alternative is relevant to Cold aisle inlet air and thermal envelope but does not directly resolve the current Optical received power and signal integrity issue: Restore planned airflow direction, containment and intake clearance, and validate inlet thermal conditions at loaded nodes. Observed scenario: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load.

Question 311

A production GPU cluster review identifies this condition: A transceiver passes its link LED check but BER testing shows errors during a sustained NCCL load. Which diagnostic evidence should be obtained FIRST to substantiate the likely fault or configuration gap? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Conclude every optical path is healthy solely because the port state is Up at the monitoring poll instant.
  2. Compare part numbers, port form factors, certified cable reach, link training and interface error counters.
