Product · Rack-level mechanical infrastructure
Rack Hardware for liquid-cooled high-density deployments.
Structural and mechanical components that support high-density GPU, HPC, colocation, modular data center, and other heat-load environments where rack layout, liquid cooling hardware, manifold mounting, hose routing, and service access must be planned together.
Rack Hardware
The physical layer that makes deployment cleaner.
Rack hardware is not just the cabinet. It includes the mechanical details that let liquid cooling components fit correctly, stay protected, remain serviceable, and scale across multiple racks.
Built around high-density rack constraints.
High-density rack deployments require mechanical planning for mounting, coolant routing, manifold placement, cable clearance, and maintenance access.
Where rack hardware fits.
Rack hardware supports the structure around the cooling loop. It helps align the CDU interface, rack manifold, in-rack routing, and server-level connections.
Layer 1
Rack Structure
Rails, mounting systems, brackets, and support hardware provide the mechanical foundation for high-density compute equipment.
Layer 2
Manifold Mounting
Rack hardware supports manifold positioning so supply and return paths align with server and coolant distribution requirements.
Layer 3
Hose Routing
Retention and protection components help keep hoses organized, protected, and serviceable inside dense rack environments.
Layer 4
Service Access
Mechanical layouts should allow upgrades, maintenance, and modular replacement without unnecessary disruption.
Mechanical Integration
Mounting systems, rails, and support hardware.
Rack hardware supports servers, manifolds, fluid distribution components, and deployment layouts inside high-density racks.
PAI supports rack-level mechanical sourcing for new builds, upgrades, and liquid cooling retrofit projects.
Fluid Routing Support
Cleaner hose paths and protected coolant lines.
Liquid-cooled racks need planned hose routing, retention, bend management, and protection around service areas.
Good rack hardware reduces clutter and supports safer installation, inspection, and maintenance.
Deployment Use
For high-density GPU and liquid-cooled rack environments.
Rack hardware supports liquid-cooled high-density systems where density, coolant routing, and serviceability must be planned together.
Useful for H100, H200, GB200, modular GPU deployments, HPC clusters, colocation environments, and rack-scale infrastructure requiring structured mechanical integration.
Project Fit
Custom configurations for specific deployments.
Rack hardware can vary by rack type, manifold position, CDU interface, server layout, and cooling architecture.
PAI helps coordinate component fit across mechanical, fluid, and deployment requirements.
Technical focus areas.
Rack hardware selection affects fit, airflow clearance, coolant routing, service access, safety, and installation quality.
| Category | What matters | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Rails, brackets, structural supports, and frame compatibility | Ensures equipment is properly supported and aligned inside the rack |
| Manifold integration | Mounting position, clearance, and supply/return alignment | Improves coolant distribution layout and serviceability |
| Hose routing | Bend radius, retention, routing channels, and protection components | Reduces clutter, strain, and damage risk during installation and maintenance |
| Service access | Clearance for removal, inspection, and modular replacement | Supports uptime and faster maintenance workflows |
| Deployment consistency | Repeatable rack layouts across multi-rack projects | Helps scale installation quality across larger deployments |
Rack hardware examples.
Depending on the project, rack hardware can include standard rack components, liquid cooling support hardware, and custom integration parts.
| Component area | Examples | Typical purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Structural support | Rack rails, brackets, supports, frame hardware | Mount servers, cooling hardware, and mechanical assemblies |
| Manifold support | Manifold brackets, alignment hardware, mounting plates | Position supply and return manifolds for rack-level distribution |
| Fluid routing | Hose retainers, guides, clamps, routing channels | Organize and protect coolant lines through the rack |
| Protection | Guards, strain relief, edge protection, service clearances | Reduce damage risk and support safer service access |
| Custom integration | Project-specific mounting and layout components | Adapt rack hardware to the deployment architecture |
