## Context

Nawa Power develops modular GPU infrastructure around available power. These are partnership interests. Site acceptance, lease assumption, capacity, pricing, financing and delivery dates require diligence and written agreements.

NAWA F2 Compute, power and cooling on one pad.

Power baseline **2 MW+**

Contiguous capacity, with room to grow.

Land or existing space **A usable site**

Clear control, practical access and room for supporting infrastructure.

Connectivity **2 diverse routes**

Independent physical paths for internet service.

The first conversation

<a id="checklist-title"></a>

### Start with what you have.

A site introduction can start before the facility exists. Share the facts you can confirm, and identify what still needs to be developed. Nawa can then assess the engineering and commercial path.

#### Location & site control

Send a map pin, usable area, photos and the owner’s details. Explain whether you own, lease, have an option on, or can introduce the site.

Useful evidence: site plan, title or lease summary.

#### Deliverable power

State the MW available to this project today, the expansion path and the earliest energization date. Identify the utility or generation source and the full electricity cost.

Useful evidence: utility letter, capacity agreement, tariff and electrical one-line.

#### Fiber & infrastructure

Identify nearby carriers, their physical routes and any work needed to reach the site. Describe existing switchgear, substations, cooling and water availability.

Useful evidence: carrier route map, service quote and equipment schedule.

#### Buildability & timing

Outline zoning, permits, flood exposure, delivery access and any noise or emissions constraints. Include the proposed land or power terms and who can authorize the project.

Useful evidence: permit status, access plan and a dated delivery schedule.

**Make the power figure specific.** Tell us how much capacity can be allocated to this project and when. Include existing site demand and any curtailment conditions so we can assess the usable supply.

### What the site needs to support.

Use these selected infrastructure requirements to assess the build. An early land or power introduction can identify a path to them; readiness is confirmed during technical diligence.

**Power & resilience** Capacity that holds up under load

**Full-load operation**
Power must support the entire installation at full demand.

**Facility standard**
Tier III minimum; N+1 generators, UPS and cooling.

**Backup supply**
Generator start ≤30 seconds; contracted fuel replenishment with response <24 hours. UPS covers transfer; batteries require fire separation.

**At the rack**
Paired power distribution units; 208 V, with 415 V accepted for dense or liquid-cooled installations.

**N+1:** enough equipment to serve the load with one unit unavailable.

**Cooling & space** Match the facility to the chosen hardware

**Thermal capacity**
Cooling must handle peak heat, with N+1 resilience and separated hot/cold airflow. Air or liquid cooling is supported; immersion is excluded.

**Rack density**
Air: ≥30 kW/rack; 60 kW preferred. Liquid: up to approximately 240 kW/rack, matched to equipment.

**Site layout**
Allow contiguous equipment space, loading access and secure staging. Modular facilities may be reviewed.

Share the available footprint; Nawa sizes the layout after reviewing equipment, setbacks and site conditions.

**Fiber & connectivity** Two routes, with capacity to scale

**Resilient connections**
At least two physically separate internet paths, automatic failover and redundant firewalls.

**External bandwidth**
At least 200 Gbps total (2 × 100 Gbps), or 125 Mbps/GPU if greater. Above 256 nodes, capacity is negotiated.

**Latency & traffic**
Round-trip latency below 50 ms to AWS S3 or Cloudflare R2. Unmetered, unrestricted ingress and egress.

**Carrier mix**
Cogent plus another Tier-1 carrier.

Ask carriers for physical route drawings and delivery dates. Two service contracts can still share the same conduit.

**Access & operations** A secure, maintainable environment

**Support**
Remote hands around the clock; first response within 30 minutes.

**Access & protection**
Controlled entry, access logs, secure vestibule and early smoke detection; 24/7 staffing or NOC coverage and operator access.

**Assurance**
SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 are required.

**Inspection & acceptance**
Facilities must allow inspection. Equipment undergoes validation and sustained-load testing before acceptance; service levels are contractual.

**Preferences, rather than hard gates:** diverse utility feeds, 2N resilience and PUE around 1.3.

### Let’s look at the site.

Start with the location, available MW and your connection to the owner or power provider. Include links to documents you already have; mark unknowns so we can follow up.

Site introduction for Nawa I'd like to introduce a compute site. Location / map link: Owner and my relationship to the site: Land area or building area available: Site control (owned / leased / option / introduction): Power available now (MW) and capacity reserved for this project: Utility or generation source: Power cost (currency/kWh, including demand and delivery charges): Earliest power delivery date and evidence supporting it: Expansion capacity and timing: Fiber carriers, routes and distance to site: Existing electrical / cooling infrastructure: Permits, zoning or other known constraints: Proposed land / power commercial terms: Best contact and next step: I can share a site plan, power documents and photos as available.

### About this guide

This guide summarizes Nawa’s infrastructure requirements for an initial site review. The complete technical scope is confirmed during project diligence.

Location eligibility and commercial terms are reviewed separately for each project.

The introduction checklist is Nawa’s diligence request. A site submission starts a review; customer acceptance and any commercial commitments require separate agreement.
