Evidence

Lastly, the BlueField-4 DPU is able to control the 8 ConnectX-9 backend NICs allowing for unified management of both front end north-south network & back end high speed East-West networks

Context After

Evolution from Blackwell

All of these modules in the VR NVL72 compute tray, while not exactly the same, are found in the compute tray of GB200/300. The only difference is the midplane module as it is a new component introduced to eliminate internal cables form the compute tray. Also, the modules at the front of the chassis (daughter modules) are much longer than their equivalent in Blackwell to connect the signal from the midplane to the front I/O ports via PCB. In the sections below we will discuss the cableless design, the changes in thermal design, and the changes in mechanical design in the compute tray.
