Compute Tray Cableless Design - Line hint:

Context Before
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.
Compute Tray Cableless Design
Evidence
First, flyover cables present multiple different points of failure as they can easily be damaged during assembly
Context After
Replacing Internal Cables with Board-to-Board Connectors
For the GB200/300, the most valuable cable that is exclusively supplied by Amphenol is the DensiLink OverPass cable set within the compute tray. This cable provides the ethernet connection between the CX-7/8 NIC and the OSFP cages. However, this cable is extremely vulnerable to scratches and damage of the cable termination during assembly, thereby creating many points of failure. There are also several other lower-end PCIe cables in use (MCIO and SlimSAS) that also suffer from the same points of failure. These cables involve many other suppliers as well – complicating procurement and vendor management. Given the delicate nature of the cable, workers must be extremely careful while placing the cables in a very dense and compact chassis, which prolongs assembly time.
