Abstract:
A method is provided for facilitating powering and cooling of one or more electronics racks. The method includes: providing a frame; associating at least one bulk power assembly with the frame, the at least one bulk power assembly being configured to provide power to the electronics rack(s), wherein the frame with the associated one or more bulk power assemblies is distinct from the electronics rack(s); and associating one or more heat exchange assemblies with the frame, the heat exchange assembly(ies) being configured to cool system coolant provided to the electronics rack(s). In operation, heat is transferred by the heat exchange assembly(ies) from the system coolant to a facility coolant, and the frame with the associated bulk power assembly(ies) and associated heat exchange assembly(ies) provides both power and cooling to the electronics rack(s).
