# Used GPU acceptance checklist

Working template from Cardinal Field Guide. Adapt it to the exact hardware and agreed transaction. This is an evidence worksheet, not a diagnostic procedure or warranty.

## Review ownership

- Offer or order reference:
- Buyer review owner:
- Seller contact:
- Responsible integrator:
- Agreed receiving date:
- Evidence folder:
- Process for reporting discrepancies:
- Applicable commercial deadlines and remedies: record the separately agreed terms

## Before shipment

- [ ] The model, variant and quantity match the request
- [ ] The unit of sale is explicit
- [ ] The inventory identifies each unit where identifiers are available
- [ ] Label photographs connect to the inventory
- [ ] Included accessories and exclusions are itemized
- [ ] The exact server configuration and integration responsibility are recorded
- [ ] Seller condition claims state their basis
- [ ] Any refurbishment work is described with available supporting records
- [ ] Expected evidence coverage is recorded as all units or a defined sample
- [ ] Unresolved findings have a named owner

## Diagnostic evidence review

For each record, complete:

| Field | Entry |
|---|---|
| Unit identifier | |
| Manufacturer part number | |
| Record filename or location | |
| Date and responsible operator | |
| Server configuration | |
| Operating system and driver | |
| Diagnostic tool and version | |
| Selected devices and checks | |
| Duration and relevant settings | |
| Checks skipped or unavailable | |
| Result and warnings | |
| Seller explanation | |
| Remaining question and owner | |

- [ ] Original output is retained
- [ ] Counter definitions and observation periods are understood
- [ ] Unsupported values remain distinct from measured zero
- [ ] The record describes the offered configuration
- [ ] Any later result preserves the earlier finding and its explanation
- [ ] The reviewer has not turned a limited result into a reliability guarantee

## Receiving review

- [ ] Shipment identifiers and arrival time are recorded
- [ ] Visible packaging condition is recorded before repacking
- [ ] Delivered inventory matches the agreed inventory
- [ ] Listed accessories are present
- [ ] Visible discrepancies are documented through the agreed process
- [ ] Handling follows the applicable manufacturer instructions
- [ ] Equipment needing further investigation remains with the responsible technical staff

## Functional evaluation plan

Complete before evaluation. The qualified operator selects and follows the applicable procedure.

- Exact configuration under evaluation:
- Evaluation owner:
- Manufacturer procedure or agreed functional workload:
- Expected outcome:
- Software environment:
- Selected units and any sampling limitation:
- Evidence to retain:
- Stop or escalation conditions from the applicable procedure:
- Observed outcome:
- Differences from the seller's setup:
- Open findings and responsible party:

## Review outcome

- Review date:
- Reviewer:
- Status: complete / further evidence needed / discrepancy reported
- Evidence supporting that status:
- Unresolved issues:
- Next action and owner:

This status records a technical review. It does not replace separately agreed commercial terms. A passed diagnostic does not guarantee future reliability. Cardinal reviews seller documents and does not claim to test hardware.
