Abstract: A computing system includes a chassis, one or more backplanes coupled to the chassis. Computing devices are coupled to the one or more backplanes. The one or more backplanes include backplane openings that allow air to pass from one side of the backplane to the other side of the backplane. Air channels are formed by adjacent circuit board assemblies of the computing devices and the one or more backplanes. Channel capping elements at least partially close the air channels.

Abstract: The following description is directed to cable-based configuration. In one example, a method can include determining a first end of a cable is connected to a first device and a second end of the cable is connected to a second device. The first device can be configured to perform a first function when it is determined the first end of the cable is connected to the first device. The second device can be configured to perform a second function when it is determined the second end of the cable is connected to the second device. The second function can be different from the first function, such that the first device and the second device are configured differently based on which end of the cable is connected to the respective device.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for using an index in one region of a storage device to track modifications to data stored in another region of the storage device. The index can be stored in a first storage region using a first storage format, and data items can be stored in a second storage region using a second storage format. The index can map logical identifiers for data items to locations in the second storage region where the data items are stored. Instead of modifying a data item in the second storage device region, an entry in the index can be updated to mark the data item as deleted. Requests for data items can be reconciled using the index before returning the requested data items. Storage locations in the second region that are associated with index entries that are marked as deleted can be reclaimed and used to store additional data items.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for maintaining a secure execution environment on a server. In one embodiment, the server includes a non-volatile memory storing firmware, a programmable security logic coupled to the non-volatile memory, an adapter device coupled to the programmable security logic, and a processor communicatively coupled to the non-volatile memory via the programmable security logic. The adapter device and/or the programmable security logic can verify the firmware in the non-volatile memory while holding the processor and/or a baseboard management controller (BMC) in power reset, release the processor and the BMC from reset to boot the processor and the BMC after the firmware is verified, and then disable communications between the processor and the BMC and deny at least some requests to write to the non-volatile memory by the processor or the BMC.

Abstract: An enclosure-based tape drive server, comprises an enclosure, a controller, a memory linked to the controller, a plurality of at least eight tape drives, a host bus adapter and a network controller. The controller is positioned within the enclosure. The at least eight tape drives are positioned within the enclosure, and each of the tape drives is accessible from a front side of the enclosure. The host bus adapter couples the plurality of tape drives to the controller. The network controller is connectible to a network to couple the server to the network.

CPC classification number: H05K7/20736
Abstract: A rack cooling system includes a plurality of electronic devices mounted in a rack and a plurality of shared rack-level fans arranged in an array and coupled to a rack. A fan controller receives one or more condition signals indicating thermal conditions in the electronic devices and generates a plurality of control signals for controlling the shared rack-level fans. The fan controller generates the plurality of control signals based on respective thermal conditions in respective electronic devices in respective positions in the rack and the plurality of control signals causes different respective groups of one or more shared rack-level fans in different locations in the array to induce air flow through the electronic devices, wherein separate ones of the two or more groups of one or more shared rack-level fans operate at different speeds or angles.

Abstract: A cooling controller of a cooling canister is configured to coordinate control of a set of fans coupled with the cooling canister with another set of fans coupled with an adjacent cooling canister. The cooling canister and the adjacent cooling canister include openings that are coupled together that permit air to flow between the cooling canister and the adjacent cooling canister. In some embodiments, the cooling control also coordinates control of a damper in at least one of the coupled openings of the coupled cooling canister and adjacent cooling canister.

Abstract: A rack-mountable computer system enables an airflow that cools components in an upstream portion of the computer system interior to be cooled through mixing with a bypass airflow downstream of the components in the upstream portion. The mixed airflow can cool components in a downstream portion of the interior. The bypass airflow is directed by a bypass plenum that is unencompassed by the separate plenum that directs the airflow to cool the upstream portion components. The bypass plenum can be established by one surface of a component that supports one or more heat-producing components in the separate plenum, including an underside of a circuit board mounted in the interior. Relative flow rates through the separate plenums can be adjusted, via flow control elements, to separately control heat removal from components upstream and downstream of the air mixing, based at least in part upon air temperatures in the separate interior portions.
