Definition

Yard 400

Yard 400 is three containers docked in line and set on a concrete pad. The power unit carries the uninterruptible supplies and the lithium storage. The IT unit carries the racks and the coolant distribution units. Heat rejection sits in the third, where a chiller plant works against a buffer volume and an N+1 pump set.

System boundary

In scope

  • Three factory-integrated container units
  • Uninterruptible supply, lithium storage, and rack distribution
  • Coolant distribution, in-row cooling, and the heat-rejection plant
  • Integrated compute and network racks
  • Monitoring, leak detection, access control, and suppression

Out of scope

  • The electrical service and any metering the utility owns
  • The pad, the bollards, and the fence
  • Fibre to the pad
  • Permitting and local approvals

Exploded assembly

Every part, lifted out.

The three units separate and their major components lift out, each one labelled. The power unit carries sixteen energy-storage cabinets, two uninterruptible supplies at 400 kVA, a distribution cabinet feeding a 48 V busbar, and two room cooling units at 26.9 kW. The IT unit carries five racks holding 448 accelerators and three coolant distribution units at 160 kW. The heat-rejection unit carries a 500 kW chiller, a cold storage tank, and an N+1 pump set. Docked in line the three measure 24308 mm.

System anatomy

Subsystems.

Power

Power

Service enters the 40 ft unit and leaves as a busbar feed to the racks.

Design basis

  • Two uninterruptible supplies at 400 kVA, N+1
  • Sixteen lithium storage cabinets at 563 V
  • 48 V busbar to the racks
  • Two room cooling units at 26.9 kW hold the electrical space

Redundancy

The uninterruptible supplies are an N+1 pair. The unit carries its rating with one out of service.

Configuration options

Storage duration Reference design
Set by the cabinet count. Sixteen is the drawn configuration.
Service voltage Concept
Selected with the utility at interconnection.
Cooling

Cooling

Water carries the heat out of the IT unit and rejects it from the third.

Design basis

  • Three coolant distribution units at 160 kW, direct to chip
  • Three in-row cooling units at 30.5 kW
  • Chiller plant designed for 500 kW
  • Cold storage tank and an N+1 pump set

Redundancy

The pump set is N+1. Coolant distribution is drawn as three units against the rack load.

Configuration options

Ambient design range Concept
The plant is selected against the ambient at the site. The drawn configuration assumes a temperate range.
Compute

Compute

Five racks arrive integrated and tested inside the IT unit.

Design basis

  • 5 racks
  • 112 trays at 4 accelerators each
  • 448 accelerators
  • Liquid-cooled, fed from the 48 V busbar

Redundancy

Compute is not redundant. Power and cooling around it are.

Configuration options

Tray population Reference design
The schedule is three racks at 26 trays and two at 17. Racks can ship part-populated and fill later.
Controls

Controls and safety

The yard reports its own condition and puts itself out if it has to.

Design basis

  • Environmental monitoring across all three units
  • Leak detection at the coolant loop
  • Access control at every door
  • Clean-agent suppression, total flood

Redundancy

Detection is independent of the control system, so a controls fault does not blind the alarm path.

Configuration options

Suppression agent Concept
Set by the jurisdiction. The drawn configuration carries a clean agent in every unit.

What the drawing shows

The power unit carries sixteen energy-storage cabinets, two uninterruptible supplies at 400 kVA, a distribution cabinet feeding a 48 V busbar, and two room cooling units at 26.9 kW. The IT unit carries five racks holding 448 accelerators and three coolant distribution units at 160 kW. The heat-rejection unit carries a 500 kW chiller, a cold storage tank, and an N+1 pump set. Docked in line the three measure 24308 mm.

What the drawing shows

Service enters the 40 ft unit at a distribution cabinet. Two uninterruptible supplies in an N+1 pair carry the load, backed by sixteen lithium storage cabinets at 563 V, and feed the racks over a 48 V busbar.

Concept · drawing pending

Held until the mechanical engineer of record has reviewed it.

What the drawing shows

Three coolant distribution units at 160 kW hold the rack loop and pass heat to a facility loop running 20 °C supply and 36.5 °C return. A 500 kW plant in the third unit rejects it, buffered by a cold storage tank and circulated by an N+1 pump set.

All technical resources

Design basis

Assumptions.

Drawn from an integrator package, built by nobody yet Reference design

The counts and capacities come from a container plan view and a configuration workbook. The rack schedule comes from a design package. No unit has been fabricated, and every value is design intent.

The section is a permit load on most roads Concept

At 3100 mm wide the units are over the standard road limit in most jurisdictions. Transport is a permitted move and the route is surveyed before order.

Siting range is indicative Concept

The 0.5 to 5 MW service range describes the sites this configuration suits. It is not a rating of the assembly.

Deployment

Scope split, then sequence.

The site provides

Land and pad
Level, drained, and engineered for the assembly weight.
Electrical service
Interconnection agreement, service entrance, and utility metering.
Network
Fibre to the pad, and the carrier arrangement behind it.
Permitting
Local approvals, inspections, and any jurisdictional review.
Heat rejection Configuration dependent
Needed for Module 20 only, where the plant sits outside the unit.
Transport route
Surveyed before order. The section is a permit load on most roads.

Nawa delivers

Factory-integrated units
Built, wired, plumbed, and tested before they leave the floor.
Power distribution Configuration dependent
From the service entrance to the rack busbar, with storage behind it.
Cooling Configuration dependent
Coolant distribution, in-row cooling, and the rejection plant where it is in scope.
Compute and network racks
Integrated to a fixed tray schedule and tested.
Controls and monitoring
Environmental, leak detection, access control, and metering.
Commissioning
Against a written acceptance script, with the results handed over.
