White Paper: Guidelines to Rack Manifold Requirements and Qualification

Write MAWP with at least 3x burst pressure, the 17-65 C operating and -40 to 75 C shipping ranges and the 1.5 m/s velocity limit into the manifold specification; because the range is based on ASHRAE W45, ask suppliers for a higher rating if a warmer-water strategy is planned.

  • Shelf life is 5 years and service life is 10 years.

White Paper: Requirements for Energy Storage Systems Used in Data Centers, Revision 1.0, Version 1.0 (OCP Ready Facilities, January 2026)

Fix the ESS architecture (DC or AC coupled, distributed or centralised, backup-only or grid-interactive), write the applicable NFPA 70, NFPA 855 and IEC 62933 parts into the design basis, and consult the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) early.

  • FM Global DS 5-33 (as cited) recommends battery installations in rooms with at least a 2-hour fire rating.

Whitepaper: Thermal Boundaries in AI Infrastructure - Matching cooling technologies to compute through the power inflection, Version 1.00 (October 2026)

Choose cooling architecture against target rack power and each method's usable envelope: a 45 kW air ceiling (60-80 kW with rear doors), 120-250 kW class cold-plate racks, and the paper's anchor values for announced 600 kW-class racks.

  • Practical air-cooled rack ceiling is taken as 45 kW, extendable to about 60-80 kW with rear-door heat exchangers.
