The generic bill of materials
Whatever the vendor list, a facility like this contains the same part categories:rack-scale systems, direct-to-chip cold plates, coolant distribution units, large power transformers (345–765 kv) & substations, ups (static, modular, rotary/drups) & ups power semis, backup generation: gensets, fuel systems, hvo, chillers & compressors — the full set is in the scales matrix.
