Server Rack Considerations
When it comes to setting up a data center, one of the most critical considerations is the choice and configuration of server racks and cabinets. The right server racks not only optimize space but also enhance airflow, cooling efficiency, and overall equipment performance.
First and foremost, the dimensions of your server racks should align with your specific hardware requirements. Standard cabinets come in varying heights and depths; therefore, understanding your equipment’s specifications is essential for maximizing space while ensuring easy access for maintenance.
Moreover, consider the importance of airflow management within your data center. Properly designed server racks can significantly reduce overheating risks by promoting efficient air circulation. Investing in racks with adjustable and advanced airflow features will help maintain optimal operating temperatures for your servers.
Lastly, don’t overlook security features offered by modern cabinets. As cyber threats continue to evolve, protecting your physical infrastructure becomes paramount. Opting for server racks with locking mechanisms or additional security options can safeguard sensitive equipment from unauthorized access.
Thoughtful consideration of server rack selection can lead to improved performance and longevity of your data center operations. Make informed choices that cater to both current needs and future scalability – your investment will pay off in operational efficiency and peace of mind.

AI Server Rack Selection Considerations
Some of the power and cooling challenges for the AI optimized data center also extend to the IT rack (i.e., IT cabinet or enclosure). AI workloads introduce the following four rack system challenges:
- Standard-width racks do not have enough space for necessary power and cooling equipment.
- Standard-depth racks do not have enough space for deep AI servers and cabling.
- Standard-height racks do not have enough space for the required number of servers.
- Standard racks do not have sufficient weight-bearing capacity for AI equipment.
Standard-width racks lack space for the necessary power and cooling equipment.
With AI servers becoming deeper, the available space at the back of the rack for mounting rack PDUs and liquid cooling manifolds is reduced. As server power densities continue to rise, fitting the required power and cooling distribution into the back of a standard-width rack (600 mm / 24 in) will become very challenging, if not impossible.
Additionally, narrow racks are prone to congesting the exhaust airflow behind the rack due to the power and network cables.
GUIDANCE: We recommend using racks that are at least 750 mm (29.5 in) wide to
accommodate rack PDUs and, in the case of liquid cooling, manifolds for liquidcooled servers.Although these wider racks will not align with the 600 mm wide raised floor tiles like standard racks, this is no longer a relevant constraint. This is because air-cooled AI servers require high airflow rates, and raised floors are typically used for piping and cabling rather than air distribution.
Standard-depth racks lack space for deep AI servers and cabling.
Servers optimized for AI workloads can be deeper than the maximum mounting depth of some standard racks. Even if a deep server can be mounted in a shallow rack, adequate rear clearance is needed to accommodate network cabling and ensure sufficient airflow.
GUIDANCE: While IT racks have adjustable mounting rails to accommodate varying equipment depths, their maximum mounting depths can differ. We recommend using racks that are at least 1,200 mm (47.2 in) deep, with maximum mounting depths exceeding 1,000 mm (40 in).
Standard-height racks lack space for the required number of servers.
Given the height of AI servers, typical 42U racks will likely be too short to accommodate all the necessary servers, switches, and other equipment. For instance, a 64-port network switch suggests having 8 servers, each with 8 GPUs.
At this density, assuming a server height of 5U, the servers alone would occupy 40U, leaving only 2U for other devices.
GUIDANCE: We recommend deploying AI training clusters in 48U racks or taller, assuming the data center doorways are sufficiently high to accommodate them. Note that 1U equals 44.45 mm (1.75 in).
Standard racks lack sufficient weight-bearing capacity for AI equipment.
High-density racks with heavy AI servers can exceed 900 kg (2000 lb.), placing significant strain on IT racks and raised floors in terms of both static and dynamic (rolling) load-bearing capacity. Racks not rated for these weights may experience deformation of frames, leveling feet, and casters. Additionally, raised floors may not support these heavy racks.
GUIDANCE: IT rack weight-bearing capacities are categorized as static and dynamic. Static capacity refers to the weight a rack can support while stationary, and dynamic capacity refers to the weight it can support while in motion.
We recommend specifying racks with a static weight capacity greater than 1,800 kg (3,968 lb.) and a dynamic weight capacity greater than 1,200 kg (2,646 lb.), validated by an independent third party.
Even if your current AI deployment is small and doesn’t yet require these capacities, racks typically have a longer service life than IT equipment. It is likely that the next generation of your AI deployment will need some or all of these rack specifications.
Additionally, IT racks are sometimes preconfigured offsite and transported to the data center. These racks must withstand the dynamic forces generated during transportation, and the associated packaging must protect both the racks and the valuable IT gear they support.
Ensure that data center floors, including raised floors, can support the weight of an AI cluster. This is particularly important for the dynamic capacity of raised floors when moving heavy
racks around the data center.
