| Scope | One 48U cabinet holding a frame of about 185 kg, 18 compute trays, 9 NVLink-switch trays, 8 power shelves, the copper backplane and busbar, manifolds and in-rack coolant. Screening band. Upper end is HPE GB300 NVL72 fully loaded with PGW (3,300 lb); HPE GB200 QuickSpecs V6 (2026-09-08) gives 3,245 lb filled, unchanged from V5 (2026-07-20); the 3,000 lb lower end is a guide screening assumption.
