ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause restricts both the software and firmware to specific hardware, preventing their use outside the designated DGX System environment.

⚠

Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two independent legal propositions. The canonical claim states the primary one (DGX Software limited to DGX Systems) and the firmware restriction is noted in omitted_material, though both are recorded in what_this_means for completeness.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Customers may only run NVIDIA DGX Software on DGX Systems and may not use DGX-specific firmware in any other products.
