Nvidia has introduced DSX Ready, a program that qualifies partner power and cooling products against requirements for its AI data-center reference designs. The initial list covers battery energy-storage systems from Hitachi Energy, LG Energy Solution and Tesla, plus cooling distribution units from LG Electronics, LiquidStack and Vertiv.

Battery suppliers conduct required tests and submit data for Nvidia's review, while cooling suppliers use a self-qualification suite. Nvidia says qualification applies within defined boundaries and does not replace site engineering or establish that a facility will be stable.
