General Cooling
Recommendations for
Heatsink-less DPU
Controllers
This section offers general cooling recommendations to NVIDIA customers who have
acquired a heatsink-less DPU Controller (OPN: 900-9D3C6-00CV-GA0).
Warning
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The customer holds exclusive responsibility for the thermal
design and for ensuring all board components never exceed
their designated thermal operating limits.
2. The recommendations provided in this section are based on an
air-cooled thermal design.
3. If the customer's environment has low or no airflow (e.g., liquid
cooling) where the DPU Controller is to be installed, the
customer must ensure proper cooling for all the other board
components that are not covered by the recommendations of
this chapter or in the product's thermal model. The customer
must guarantee those components do not exceed their thermal
operating limits as well.
