Context Before

As previously explained, high speed signals require better PCB materials, especially for NVLink 6 which has much lower tolerance for insertion loss given the use of bidirectional signaling. The number of lanes between the PaladinHD2 connectors and the NVLink Switch also creates complexity for PCB design. Hence, the NVLink 6 Switch board PCB is upgraded to 32 layers with M8+ graded CCL - minimally LDK2 glass fiber cloth or potentially Quartz fiber cloth.

We have more details on the switch tray and various components in the VR NVL72 Component BoM and Power Budget Model ↗.

Evidence

Zooming out, backplane copper cables are used to connect NVLink Switch trays to the GPU trays for the VR NVL72 system. Although the bandwidth doubles, with bi-directional SerDes, the number of cables required does not change from the GB300 backplane generation to the Vera Rubin NVL72 backplane generation. The number of connectors and the number of DPs per connector also does not change from Grace Blackwell NVL72 to VR NVL72.

② Atomic Claim

雖然 bandwidth 翻倍，但因使用 bidirectional SerDes，從 GB300 backplane 到 Vera Rubin NVL72 backplane，所需 cable 數量並未增加。

• Epistemic Mode: ASSERTED
• Mapping Status: COMPLETE

③ Semantic Frame

④ Canonical Entity Mapping

Role	Surface Label	Canonical Target
comparison_entity_0	GB300	GB300
comparison_entity_1	Vera Rubin	04_knowledge_base/Vera Rubin
comparison_entity_2	backplane	Backplane
comparison_entity_3	SerDes	SerDes

⑤ V2 Draft（需要修正時直接編輯）

Inline repair

只編輯以下三個 Draft 區塊。完成後將 review_action 設為 REQUEST_REPAIR，再手動執行 Repair Preview。
執行腳本前，Draft 不會寫入 Claim Store 或 Graph。

⑥ Human Review

請在 Properties 逐項確認：

• 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
• Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
• Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
• Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
• 最後選擇 review_action
