Savings with more than 2.5× compute density compared to air-cooled systems
1. Liquid-cooled Systems
- Variety of DLC systems optimized for high performance GPU+CPU compute workloads
- Up to 98% heat capture coverage for system components through DLC-2
- Lower fan speeds and fewer required fans save more power, and achieve a quiet data center at as low as 50dB
2. Cold Plate Building Blocks
- DLC-2 cold plates are mounted on top of CPUs, GPUs, DIMMs, VRM, PCIe switches, and more for up to 98% heat capture coverage
- GPU cold plate also helps cool other related components that require liquid cooling, such as GPU switches
- Advanced heat dissipation efficiency with micro-sized channels thinner than a human hair
3. Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU)
- DLC-2’s 250kW in-rack CDU capacity and the up to 98% heat capture allow for an increased inlet liquid temperature at up to 45 °C
- Warm water operation eliminates need for chilled water, chiller compressor, and reduces equipment cost, saving up to 40% of water consumption
- Intelligent monitoring and flexible management via CDU touch panel, remote access, and full integration with SuperCloud Composer
- 1.8 MW capacity in-row CDU also available
4. Coolant Distribution Manifold (CDM)
- CDMs distribute coolant to each server in the rack and return the hot coolant back to the CDU
- DLC-2 vertical CDMs save rack space further and increase density
- Supports 42U, 48U, or 52U rack configuration
- Customizable spacing and size for Quick Disconnect Couplings (QDC) with liquid drip free, one-handed operation and maintenance
5. Cooling Hose Kit
- Hose Kits are designed to easily connect liquid cooling racks directly to data center primary water supply or cooling towers
- The flexibility of hose kits ensure seamless integration with new or existing facility piping
- Pre-installed Hose-Kit in rack for plug-and-play toolless deployment
6. Chilled Door (RDHx) and Side Car (L2A)
- Optional liquid-cooling solutions are also available to enable DLC infrastructure performance in challenging or restrictive environments
- Includes chilled door or rear door heat exchanger (RDHx), liquid-to-air side car, and more
7. L10 – L12 Testing and Validation
- DLC-2 enabled racks and clusters are tested and validated at L10 system level, L11 rack level and L12 cluster level before shipping
- L11 testing is conducted to ensure components meet performance, reliability, and integration standards before deployment, from compute nodes, networking, power distribution, cooling systems
- L12 testing evaluates cluster systems under different benchmarks, ensuring optimal configuration and functionality across all modern workloads to simplify deployment and accelerate time-to-online
8. Cooling Tower
- Modular design for various cell sizes and configurations to offer easy scalability that meet diverse needs
- DLC-2 offers hybrid cooling towers as well as water towers that combine the features of dry and evaporative water towers into a single design
- Especially beneficial in data center locations with strong seasonal temperature variations to reduce usage of resources and costs further
- 1MW or 5MW cooling capacity option with piping design and onsite installation
Onsite Services and Support
- Comprehensive onsite liquid cooling integration services to assure quick time-to-deployment and time-to-online
- Includes continued on-site support to ensure long-term success, along with a 4-hour onsite response time for mission critical up-time

Supermicro DLC-2 Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling
Server Simply delivers Supermicro DLC-2 liquid-cooled infrastructure for AI and HPC data centers, enabling higher rack density and better efficiency. DLC-2 captures heat directly from CPUs, GPUs, DIMMs, VRMs, and PCIe switches to reduce fan use, improve PUE, and increase “AI per watt.”
End-to-end building blocks include precision cold plates, in-rack CDUs (250 kW) and in-row CDUs (up to 1.8 MW), vertical CDMs for dense racks, hose kits for facility connection, and optional RDHx chilled doors or liquid-to-air side cars. Systems are validated at L10–L12 levels for consistent performance and faster time-to-online.
Operate with warm water around 45 °C—no chiller compressors—cutting energy and water use by up to 40% while capturing up to 98% of system heat. Lower fan speeds make racks quieter (as low as 50 dB) and boost compute density (≈2.5× vs. air, up to 60% space savings), reducing TCO by up to 20%.
With Server Simply architecture, design, production, and on-site deployment, you get predictable outcomes and ongoing support—so your DLC-2 clusters deliver more performance per rack and more value per watt.
