Overview
- Nvidia announced DSX Ready on Monday as a partner qualification program that ties its DSX AI factory reference designs to compatible infrastructure products.
- The program launched with two categories—battery energy storage systems and coolant distribution units—and lists initial providers including Hitachi Energy, Tesla, LiquidStack, Vertiv, and LG affiliates.
- Coverage on Tuesday confirmed LG Electronics’ large coolant distribution unit has been accepted into DSX Ready and that LG Energy Solution’s JF2 AC Link BESS also qualified for the program.
- Nvidia requires BESS partners to run defined qualification tests and submit data for review while CDU vendors use a self-qualification suite, and Nvidia says passing DSX Ready does not replace site-level engineering or guarantee site stability.
- The move reflects rising rack power density and faster adoption of direct-to-chip liquid cooling, which experts project will drive demand for megawatt-class CDUs and modular battery systems and could speed build decisions for operators and suppliers.
