2. Verify that the power connectors to the GPU are
connected firmly. Then power cycle the system.
3. Run nvidia-smi -q In some cases this will report a
poorly connected power cable.
4. Rerun the diagnostics, using the same GPU, on
system that is known to be working. A variety of
system issues can cause diagnostic failure.
5. If the problem remains, contact your IBM
technical-support representative.
