Data Center Reference Design 108: 7,392 kW, Tier III, IEC, Chilled Water, Liquid-Cooled AI Clusters (NVIDIA GB200)

AI factories and liquid cooling bring new challenges to data center design. Schneider Electric’s data center reference designs help shorten the planning process by providing validated, proven, and documented AI infrastructure designs to address such challenges. This design focuses on the deployment of AI infrastructure for AI factories, specifically NVIDIA GB200 NVL72-based clusters such as NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, in a single data hall. The data hall is purpose-built and optimized for three NVIDIA GB200 NVL72-based 1152 GPU clusters using Motivair liquid-to-liquid CDUs and high-temperature chillers. Facility power and cooling design are optimized for capital cost, efficiency, and reliability. Reference Design 108 includes information on four technical areas: facility power, facility cooling, IT space, and lifecycle software. These areas represent the integrated systems required to meet the design’s specifications provided in this overview document.
