Capacity Requirements
Use the approved rack mix to size power, cooling, and row density. The following values are standard planning values used during early design.
| Rack Profile | Typical Use | Power Planning | Cooling Planning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard server and network rack | Baseline server, storage, and network deployments. | 15 kW per rack. | 150 CFM per kW. |
| Specialty, dense, or high-performance rack | Graphics processing unit (GPU), AI and ML, and other high-density or specialty systems. | 17 kW or more per rack. | 150 CFM or more per kW. |
Planning note: These values are planning figures and do not guarantee the final rack mix. Some rack types, including GPU-based systems, might exceed the baseline values and are confirmed during product-specific design review.
