- Tour of ASUS's server testing facility in Taiwan, focusing on testing and validation of NVIDIA-based systems.
- Overview of four main areas: R&D Lab, QTR Lab, Thermal Lab, and inspection of the ASUS NVIDIA GB300 Compute Tray.
- R&D Lab simulates data centre setups for testing, with raised floor for cooling and power infrastructure, supporting systems like GB200/GB300 NVL72 and future NVIDIA Vera Rubin.
- Chiller room uses color-coded pipes for liquid cooling, testing higher coolant temperatures to save up to 30% cooling energy.
- QTR Lab features an environmental chamber testing server racks under extreme conditions (-45C to +85C, 10-98% humidity).
- Thermal Lab optimizes cooling performance and reliability across standard operating ranges for equipment like NVIDIA HGX.
- ASUS Infrastructure Deployment Center (AIDC) and ASUS Control Centre (ACC) assist in data centre planning, deployment, and live monitoring/management.
- ASUS NVIDIA GB300 Compute Tray detailed, including components like Grace CPUs, Blackwell GPUs, power distribution, and liquid cooling with leak detection.
