Yeah, we've done that before as well. the GPU chassis we're looking at burn at ~3kw each, so i may well be into a fourth PDU at that point. i was hoping i could find something with less heft and bulk then the standard apc ones, given that we're only going to use like 10 plugs on each one. i'm also looking at maybe switching up to hardwired 415v WYE configurations. > It's my understanding that water-cooled rear door heat exchangers max > out at about 35 KW of cooling, so you might want to talk to the > different RDHx manufacturers to verify their limits before getting too > far into your design, if you haven't done so already. Coolcentric claims > their ultra-density doors can handle up to 40 KW. its unclear to me at the moment, i've got some racks running motivair doors at ~30kw and they seem to be fine. according to motivair the physical limit for the door is something like 45kw. this is a whole nothing side of the project, i need to see if i can even turn it on first :) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
