NVIDIA has created the DGX family as appliances to make administration and operation as simple as possible. However, like any computational resource it still requires administration. This section discusses some of the best practices around configuring and administering a single DGX or several DGX appliances.

There is also some discussion about how to plan for external storage, networking, and other configuration aspects for the DGX, focusing on DGX-2, DGX-1, and DGX Station (the DGX "family").
