What the shared parts are
- Power shelves & PSUs — The rack-mounted power shelves that convert facility AC or DC input into the regulated rail distributed to trays across the rack, built to the Open Rack V3 33 kW-class spec used in rack-scale AI systems.
- Rack PDUs — The power distribution units mounted in or beside a rack that meter and distribute power to individual devices, sitting between facility power and the rack's internal busbar or whips.
- Direct-to-chip cold plates — A metal plate with internal microchannels, bonded or clamped directly onto a GPU, CPU, or switch package, that carries coolant across the die to remove heat by conduction rather than airflow.
- Rack manifolds — The manifold (sometimes called a CDM) that distributes coolant from the CDU supply line to each cold plate in a rack and collects the return flow, usually mounted vertically at the rear or side of the rack.
