Pre-purchase verification
What to verify before buying
At this price point, skipping due diligence is expensive. Every item below should have a documented answer before you wire funds.
- A100 systems have significant field hours; ECC error history is critical
- HBM2e degradation: confirm vendor ran full HBM memory test
- NVLink 3 fabric health: older NVSwitch boards can develop connector issues
- Check firmware: A100 systems may be on outdated BIOS/BMC, confirm update path
- EOL status: no new OEM support; factor extended warranty cost from third parties
