    Abstract: A field-replaceable unit (FRU) identification circuit includes a reference voltage source, a reference resistor, a plurality of comparators, and a plurality of comparator input voltage sources. The reference voltage source provides a reference voltage. A first end of the reference resistor is electrically connected to the reference voltage source. Each comparator has two inputs and an output. A first input of each comparator is electrically connected to a second end of the reference resistor. The comparator input voltage sources each provide a comparator input voltage to the second input of one of the comparators. When an FRU is electrically connected to a circuit board where the FRU identification circuit is located, the outputs of the comparators are set to a distinct combination of logical values that uniquely identifies the FRU.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for reducing upstream preheat for high-density hard disk drive storage. A system can include first and second rows of storage devices installed in a storage rack, the first and second rows having a first distance between consecutive storage devices. The second row can be located behind the first row and farther away from a source of an airflow than the first row. The system can monitor a temperature associated with the second row and when the temperature rises above a threshold, the system can remove a storage device from the first row. The system can then adjust placement within the first row such that the remaining devices have a second, larger distance between each other to increase airflow to storage devices in the second row and reduce system impedance.

    Abstract: A computing device comprises a housing, a heat-generating electronic component, at least one additional electronic component, and a liquid cooling module. The heat-generating component, the at least one additional electronic component, and the liquid cooling module are all positioned inside the housing. The liquid cooling module is configured to cool the heat-generating electronic component, and includes at least one movable radiator. The at least one movable radiator is configured to move between a first position and a second position. When the at least one movable radiator is in the first position tank, the at least one movable radiator blocks access to the at least one additional electronic component within the housing. When the at least one movable radiator is in the second position, the at least one movable radiator allows access to the at least one additional electronic component within the housing.

    Abstract: A power supply system for a computer system having a fan module that protects the power supply system from backflow from the fan module is disclosed. A power supply unit has an internal fan emitting an airflow from one end of the power supply unit. The power supply unit is mountable next to the fan module. The power supply system is mountable in proximity to an air baffle that diverts the airflow generated by the internal fan. An air tunnel is located on one side of the power supply unit. The air tunnel has an opening on one end for receiving the airflow diverted by the air baffle from the internal fan. The air tunnel has an opposite end in proximity to a second opening to divert the received airflow under the power supply unit.

    Abstract: A liquid cooling system includes a cold plate thermally coupled to a heat-generating electronic component, a heat removal unit fluidly coupled to the cold plate, and a valve fluidly coupled to the cold plate and the heat removal unit. The cold plate has an internal fluid pathway. The heat removal unit delivers the cooling fluid to the cold plate, receives heated cooling fluid from the cold plate, and removes heat from the heated cooling fluid. When the valve is in a first orientation, the cold plate and the heat removal unit are fluidly coupled in a first configuration and the cooling fluid flows through the internal fluid pathway in a first direction. When the valve is in a second orientation, the cold plate and the heat removal unit are fluidly coupled in a second configuration and the cooling fluid flows through the internal fluid pathway in a second direction.
