DGX Station DU-08255-001 _v4.6|4
Chapter2. Setting Up the NVIDIA DGX
Station
Before using the DGX Station, ensure that its initial set-up is complete.
2.1. Siting the DGX Station
CAUTION:
The DGX Station weighs 88 lbs (40 kg). Do not attempt to lift the DGX Station. Instead, remove
the DGX Station from its packaging and move it into position by rolling it on its fitted casters.
To prevent damage to components inside the DGX Station, do not subject the DGX Station to
excessive vibration or mechanical shock. After moving or transporting the DGX Station, visually
inspect the NVLINK bridge, which connects the GPUs, and the drive trays in the drive cage
to see if they have shifted out of position. If any of these components has shifted, reseat the
component before operating the DGX Station.
Site the DGX Station in a location that is clean, dust-free, well ventilated, and near an
appropriately rated, grounded AC power outlet.
Leave approximately 5" (12.5 cm) of clearance behind and at the sides of the DGX Station to
allow sufficient airflow for cooling the unit.
When operating the DGX Station, keep the ambient temperature and relative humidity within
the following ranges:
‣
Ambient temperature: 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F)
‣
Relative humidity: 10% to 80% (non-condensing)
Always keep the DGX Station upright. Do not lay the unit on its side.
