What the shared parts are
- Rack-scale systems — A rack-scale system is the fully integrated cabinet of compute trays, switch trays, power shelves, cooling manifolds and busbar that ships as one wired unit rather than as discrete servers.
- EMS, system integration & rack-level test — Electronics manufacturing services firms assemble, wire and burn-in the finished server or rack before it ships, standing between the ODM board build and the customer's data center floor.
- GPU baseboards & compute trays — The baseboard is the printed circuit assembly that carries the GPUs (and often paired CPUs) and their direct power and interconnect, packaged into a tray that slides into the rack.
