What the shared parts are
- Enclosures — The rack cabinet frame itself — the enclosure that chassis and trays mount into, sold either as a standalone product or built in-house by the rack ODM.
- 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.
- Leak detection, flow & pressure sensing — Sensors and systems that detect coolant leaks and monitor flow rate and pressure throughout the liquid-cooling loop, feeding alerts to rack and row controls.
- Rack/row cooling controls & software — Software and controllers that manage coolant setpoints, pump speed, and valve positions at the rack and row level, and that tie into facility-wide data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems.
