NVLink across all 72 GPUs over passive copper cable cartridges, with nine 1RU NVLink switch trays; scale-out is ConnectX-7 at 400 Gb/s InfiniBand east-west and a BlueField-3 DPU at 400 Gb/s north-south
Inventec's integrated rack build of the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72, and the first of its Artemis family. Eighteen 1RU compute trays carrying four GPUs each, plus nine 1RU NVLink switch trays, fill a 48RU MGX rack, pairing 36 Grace CPUs with 72 Blackwell GPUs. GPU to GPU traffic runs over passive copper NVLink cable cartridges rather than optics, and the rack accepts rack-mounted, row-based or sidecar liquid cooling with an Inventec-designed rack-mounted CDU. Blind-mate manifolds are used throughout for serviceability. Inventec rates the rack at a maximum of 125 kW for the GB200 NVL72 building blocks; note NVIDIA quotes 120 kW for the reference design, and this entry keeps Inventec's figure since Inventec is the one publishing it. No throughput or memory figures are published for the rack; those are on the linked NVIDIA reference entry.
