MSI is expanding its open data-center and AI infrastructure lineup at the 2026 OCP Global Summit with new 21-inch Open Rack v3 systems, modular DC-MHS building blocks, liquid-cooled GPU servers, and a deskside AI system.
In its October 14 announcement, MSI said its new ORv3 two-node platforms use AMD EPYC 9006 Series processors and support up to 600 W per node. The air-cooled CD281-S4091-X2 uses a 2OU design, while the liquid-cooled CD182-S6091-X2 fits two nodes into 1OU. Both use 48 V busbar power and PCIe 6.0.
The open-hardware angle matters because operators are trying to raise rack density without locking every generation to a completely new chassis. MSI’s DC-MHS portfolio spans AMD and Intel platforms, while its new rack-scale AI configuration adds liquid cooling, 400 GbE networking and dense GPU systems. That connects directly with the broader shift toward liquid-cooled infrastructure, PCIe 6 servers and modular server management.
An independent StorageReview inspection of MSI’s OCP rack says the 48RU setup uses four liquid-cooled CG681-S6093 systems and can hold up to 32 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs when fully populated.
MSI is also showing the XpertStation WS300, which brings a GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra system with up to 748 GB of coherent memory and dual 400 GbE networking to a desktop-sized platform. The larger story is not one product: it is the push to make AI infrastructure more modular from the desk to the rack.
