Chapter1.
INTRODUCTION TO THE NVIDIA® DGX
STATION™
The NVIDIA DGX Station is a fast, multi-GPU workstation for deep learning and
AI analytics. You can use the DGX Station to run neural networks, and deploy deep
learning models. Because the DGX Station is software compatible with the NVIDIA
DGX-1 server, you can also use the DGX Station to optimize applications to run on a
production DGX-1 cluster.

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.
