- C. White
- D. Opaque
Answer: B
Explanation:
The air shroud in Supermicro systems, including those with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) solutions like the SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC, is typically designed to direct airflow (or in hybrid systems, assist with liquid cooling efficiency) and is made of plastic or composite materials. Based on Supermicro's standard design practices seen in technical documentation and product images (e.g., SYS-420GP-TNAR, a similar GPU server with DLC), the PCIe tray's air shroud is consistently black. This color aids in heat absorption and dissipation, aligning with Supermicro's focus on thermal efficiency in DLC systems, where cold plates and coolant distribution units (CDUs) manage heat directly at the chip level. White or clear shrouds are less common due to aesthetic and thermal considerations, and "opaque" is not a specific color designation. Thus, black is the correct choice, reflecting Supermicro's engineering standards for high-performance computing components.
References:Supermicro product images and manuals (e.g., SYS-420GP-TNAR User Manual), general DLC solution descriptions.
NEW QUESTION # 26
Before removing the LPIO board from the PCIe tray, what other component needs to be removed first?
- A. Metal bracket
- B. GPU tray
- C. Air shroud
- D. Motherboard tray
Answer: A
Explanation:
The LPIO (Low-Profile IO) board in Supermicro systems like the SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC, part of the PCIe tray, is typically secured by ametal bracketthat must be removed first. This bracket holds the LPIO board and associated cables (e.g., BMC cable) in place, as seen in similar designs (e.g., SYS-420GP-TNAR). Removing it involves unscrewing (often 2 screws) and lifting it off, granting access to the LPIO board. A (GPU tray) is a separate assembly, C (motherboard tray) is unrelated to the PCIe tray's LPIO, and D (air shroud) covers components but doesn't secure the board. Supermicro's DLC systems emphasize modular access, making B the correct step.References:Supermicro PCIe tray service guides, DLC system IO component layouts.
NEW QUESTION # 27
When reseating the PCIe tray, how do you know when the PCIe tray has been correctly inserted all the way back into the system?
- A. The front of the PCIe tray should be slightly sticking out of the system
- B. The levers on each side of the front of the PCIe tray that were in the down position should move up slightly
- C. The levers on each side of the front of the PCIe tray that were in the up position should move down slightly
- D. The levers on each side of the front of the PCIe tray that were in the down position should move up all the way into the locked position automatically
Answer: D
Explanation:
Reseating the PCIe tray in a Supermicro system like the SYS-421GE-TNHR2-LCC involvesaligning it with the chassis and locking it in place. Per Supermicro's design (e.g., SYS-420GP-TNAR), the tray has levers that start in the down (unlocked) position during insertion. When fully seated, these levers automatically move up to the locked position, clicking into place to secure the tray and ensure proper connection to power and cooling (e.g., DLC manifolds). Option A (sticking out) indicates incomplete insertion, B (slightly up) is insufficient, and C (up to down) reverses the mechanism. D reflects Supermicro's DLC system precision, ensuring tray stability.References:Supermicro PCIe tray installation guides, DLC component alignment standards.
NEW QUESTION # 28
Which card would you most likely connect to the AOM module (AOM-GP401-PCIE)?
