# NeuronPlant / DSX campus How we read public NVIDIA DSX campus layers for a hall partner or customer program. Not a campus NeuronPlant builds. NVOnline packs named only, not reprinted. Canonical HTML: https://neuronplant.com/dsx Collection file: https://neuronplant.com/llms/dsx.txt NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner. NVOnline packs are named, not reprinted. Customer names and customer specifications publish only after written approval. # DSX campus layer: Grid / substation Utility lands above 100 kV, steps into a 34.5 kV campus backbone with two buses: Network Core and GPU Compute. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: BESS and standby generation BESS on the 34.5 kV bus as a buffer for spiky AI load. Standby generation in N+2 for Core continuity. Sizing is site-specific. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: Central Utility Building Shared plant for liquid and air. Chillers on 4.16 kV. Pumps, dry coolers and controls on 480 V. UPS only on the Core side of the CUB. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: Dry coolers Air-side heat rejection, no evaporative water in this reference pattern. NVIDIA states a 45°C liquid-cooling design point so more of the facility budget stays with compute. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: CDU gallery Liquid-to-liquid CDUs in the mechanical gallery, N+1 groups. Secondary loop to GPU cold plates. NVIDIA publishes a TCS design flow of at least 1.5 LPM/kW. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: Compute data hall A Scalable Unit is one compute hot-aisle plus one support hot-aisle. Cabinet TDP in the public overview runs from 198 kW (MGX Gen 1.1) to 330 kW (Vera Rubin NVL72). Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # DSX campus layer: CIN spine and network core East-West cluster interconnect with a 500 m optical reach limit. That number is a fiber plant constraint (SMF, MPO, polarity, test), not a switch SKU. Network Core holds tenant access (North-South), secure management (not application North-South), high-speed storage (its own data fabric when dedicated) and meet-me rooms. Restated from NVIDIA's public DSX Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design Overview. NeuronPlant is not an NVIDIA Cloud Partner and does not reprint NVOnline packs. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # Named NVIDIA DSX packs Titles and document numbers only. No drawings, no BOM, no copied pages. - NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Reference Design (NVOnline #1151654, Compute / cluster): Generation-specific AI factory pack for Vera Rubin NVL72. NVIDIA lists it on the public DSX hub as NVOnline-gated. - NVIDIA DSX Vera Rubin Facilities Infrastructure Reference Design (NVOnline #1145739, Site / facilities): Facilities pack for the Vera Rubin generation. Same NVOnline gate. We do not reproduce the drawings or BOM. - NVIDIA DSX Facilities Infrastructure Design Guide (NVOnline #1152370, Campus design guide): NVIDIA's public overview cites Design Guide v2.0 (19 August 2026) as the rendering source. The full guide is NVOnline. Canonical: https://neuronplant.com/dsx # NVIDIA published example, not a NeuronPlant project 250 MW-class IT load / 96 Scalable Units - Site footprint: 157 acres - Building: 972,500 SF - Compute halls: 4 - GPU racks: 1,536 - GPUs: 110,592 - Compute IT + mechanical: 240 MW - Core IT + mechanical: 22.8 MW NVIDIA presents this table as a sizing reference independent of the campus rendering. It is not a NeuronPlant project, not a campus we construct, and not a hall we sell. Actual sites differ. GPU rack count in that example assumes a maximum of eight racks per compute row.
