Delta’s new ORV3 18 kW power shelves for AI servers
Summary
The high-efficiency 6-slot-chassis power shelf is specifically designed to enable substantial energy savings in AI servers. Ares Chen, General Manager of Delta’s Power and System Business Group, said, “As AI, 5G, automation, and other advanced technologies are becoming driving forces in the server market, more and more clients are adopting the third generation of Open Rack to meet higher power demands. Each unit has a 150% load capability for 20 milliseconds to ensure protection from sudden current increases. The power shelf is scalable with extensive options of communication protocols such as PMBus over I2C and RS485 for secure monitoring and control. In addition, both the power shelf and PMC can be customised in terms of hardware and firmware based on client demands to realise high energy efficiency for data centres.
