1.1.3.1. Support for N+N Redundancy
The DGX A100 includes six power supply units (PSU) configured for 3+3 redundancy. If three
PSUs fail, the system will continue to operate at full power with the remaining three PSUs.
Note:
‣
If only two PSUs are working, the GPUs will not be available but the server will still boot.
This is to allow you to gather debug or system logs or other data from the cache SSDs.
‣
If only one PSU is working, troubleshoot the cause for the loss of power from the other
PSUs and correct. If faulty PSUs need to be replaced, shut the system down and install
working PSUs.
1.1.4. DGX A100 Locking Power Cord Specification
The DGX A100 is shipped with a set of six (6) locking power cords that have been qualified for

The following locking power cord types are approved:
‣

WARNING: To avoid electric shock or fire, only use the NVIDIA-provided power cords to
