Product description & installation planning guide
GPU-ready infrastructure for private, always-on AI at home or on site: a main pod plus an outdoor utility skid.
01Product overview
H10 gives a household or private workspace a dedicated place to run AI workloads and keep selected data and services under the owner's control. It combines GPU-ready space, power, cooling, backup, monitoring and secure network boundaries in one supportable installation. Compute is serviced inside the pod; heat rejection, battery and power equipment sit on a separate utility skid with its own service space.
| Capability | What H10 provides | Your benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Private compute boundary | Dedicated racks, isolated networks, local storage interfaces, optional offline operation | Sensitive workloads stay under your access policies |
| GPU-ready plant | Rack positions, protected power, cooling interfaces, monitoring, safe shutdown | Choose compatible compute without redesigning the room |
| Residential deployment | Acoustic, weather, service-clearance, safety and remote-monitoring needs handled as one system | A supportable installation instead of an improvised server stack |
| Expandable platform | Standard and Pro capacity with modular utility equipment | Capacity matched to your site and workload |

External envelope 2991 × 2438 × 2591 mm. Preliminary interior clear envelope 2791 × 2238 mm. Racks are approximately 800 mm wide × 1000 mm deep, 24–32U class. Currents assume power factor 0.95. 10 kW and 20 kW refer to IT load only; the site connection must also cover cooling, pumps, UPS losses, battery recharge, controls and lighting.
03Space planning & service clearances
| Zone | Target | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Front service aisle | 900 mm | Door swing, operator access, rail extension and server replacement |
| Rack band | 1000 mm | Two 800 × 1000 mm racks side by side, including rear connectors and liquid couplings |
| Rear service area | 600 mm | Cable and coolant access, airflow return, inspection and leak checks |
| End allowance | ≈291 mm | Taken by door frame, end manifold and seals; not usable for equipment |
| Side chase | ≈638 mm | Narrow chase only; does not house UPS, batteries or CDU |
Before fabrication we obtain dimensioned drawings for the exact racks, servers, CDU interface and door, then mark out a 1:1 floor mock-up to prove door access, server extraction and the replacement route.
04System architecture
| Module | Location | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Main pod | Outdoor foundation or hardstand | Weather-resistant enclosure, two rack positions, service aisles, cable trays, sensors, access control, local alarm, labeled penetrations |
| Compute racks | Inside the pod | GPU servers installed after interface approval, on separate power branches with identified network and coolant connections |
| Utility skid | Outside, next to the pod | UPS and battery, main isolation and metering, CDU, pumps, filters, expansion and air removal, controller |
| Heat-rejection unit | Outdoor, away from openings | Dry cooler sized for the site's design ambient, placed to avoid recirculation and noise |
| Residential interface | Between site, pod and skid | Electrical feeder, bonding, network, alarm contacts, emergency stop, coolant piping, sealed penetrations |
05Electrical system & UPS
| Parameter | Standard | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling and auxiliaries | 20–35% of IT | 20–35% of IT |
| Breaker to plan for, 208 V 3-phase | 50 A | 100 A |
| Breaker to plan for, 480 V 3-phase | 25 A | 45 A |
| Usable UPS energy, 15 min at full IT | 2.5 kWh | 5.0 kWh |
| Battery nameplate, initial sizing | ≈3.3 kWh | ≈6.6 kWh |
Breaker sizes apply the 125% continuous-load rule to the upper running current and round up to a standard size. They are planning values, not an approved design; a licensed electrician sizes and coordinates the feeder, protection and earthing for your jurisdiction.
On utility loss, the UPS carries the agreed critical loads. The controller notifies the workload manager, checkpoints or stops jobs where possible, limits server power and starts an orderly shutdown, keeping pumps running until servers reach a safe temperature. Generator operation is optional and requires transfer and compatibility testing.
06Liquid cooling & heat rejection
| Thermal design point | Standard | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| IT heat to reject | 10 kW | 20 kW |
| Outdoor heat rejection (incl. 20% margin) | ≈12 kW · 40,900 BTU/h | ≈24 kW · 81,900 BTU/h |
| Residual air cooling | 2–3 kW | 4–6 kW |
The system monitors supply and return temperature, flow, differential pressure, rack inlet temperature, CDU status and leak sensors. Low flow, high supply temperature, pump failure or a leak triggers staged power limiting and a controlled shutdown, not just an alarm. Dual loop means the IT and facility liquid circuits are separated; N+1 redundancy is a separate option.
07Network, data protection & local control
| Zone | Typical systems | Default policy |
|---|---|---|
| WAN / remote access | Internet link, firewall, VPN or zero-trust gateway | No inbound exposure. MFA, named accounts, time-limited support, audit logs |
| Management | Server BMC, UPS and CDU controllers, environmental monitoring | Dedicated subnet with restricted devices and roles |
| AI / storage | GPU servers, model store, NAS, backup target, local APIs | Separate from user and IoT networks; stored data encrypted with keys you own |
| Home / IoT | Cameras, locks, sensors, automation, household devices | Isolated from management; only the integrations you need |
Offline mode. Without internet, local inference, knowledge search, storage and home automation continue. Model, firmware and container updates use signed packages in an approved maintenance window.
Backups. At least one backup lives outside the pod, because disks in the same enclosure don't protect against fire, theft or site damage. Restores are tested on a schedule.
08Site, structure, safety & environment
| Discipline | What we assess | Evidence at acceptance |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation & structure | Soil bearing, weights, wind, seismic, flood, anchors, lifting points, drainage | Signed calculations; anchor and bonding inspection |
| Weather & water | Roof slope, seals, penetrations, condensation, leak collection | Water-ingress check; leak-sensor simulation |
| Fire & battery | Battery chemistry and capacity, thermal detection, shutdown logic, responder access | Local fire review; alarm and isolation tests |
| Noise & vibration | Fans, pumps, server airflow, barriers, night mode, bedroom and property-line distances | Day and night sound measurements |
| Access & replacement | Door width, server extraction, battery change path, lifting equipment | Bring in and remove the largest component |
Residential checklist: service capacity, distance to bedrooms and neighbors, setbacks, noise ordinances, delivery and crane access, airflow, drainage, grounding, electrical and fire requirements, network route and maintenance path. A home installation may need permits even though the pod is prefabricated.
09Installation, commissioning & acceptance
| Stage | Work | Pass condition |
|---|---|---|
| A · Site survey | Utility service, grounding, network, foundation location, sun and wind, noise receptors, delivery route | Written service-capacity confirmation; permit path identified |
| B · Equipment freeze | Rack and server drawings, power profile, cooling ratio, UPS, CDU, dry-cooler and sound data | 1:1 layout passes; heat, flow and load schedules close |
