    Abstract: An axial-rotation locking-mechanism assembly includes a handle, a locking assembly, and a shaft. The locking assembly includes a locking element and a cam mechanism. The shaft is operatively connected to the handle and the locking assembly. When the handle is rotated in a first direction, the shaft is rotated in a first direction and drives the cam mechanism to move the locking element in a first axial direction. When the handle is rotated in a second direction, the shaft is rotated in a second direction and drives the cam mechanism to move the locking element in a second axial direction. The second direction is the opposite of the first direction. The first axial direction is the opposite of the second direction.

    Abstract: A fan guard for a fan container includes a housing and a plurality of wings. The housing has a hollow interior defined by a cylindrical inner surface. The housing extends longitudinally between a first housing end and a second housing end. The plurality of wings is positioned within the hollow interior of the housing. Each wing of the plurality of wings extends radially, from a center of symmetry of the cylindrical inner surface to the cylindrical inner surface. Each wing of the plurality of wings is radially curved between the first housing end and the second housing end.

    Abstract: A quick-disconnect (QD) connector is configured for a server having electronic modules and an internal fluid circulation system for circulating fluid to cool the electronic modules. The QD connector comprises a first manifold, a second manifold, and a mating actuator. The second manifold is removably connected to the first manifold. The fluid is flowable within the internal fluid circulation system of the server in response to the first manifold and the second manifold being in a connected state. The mating actuator includes a handle and a buckle attached to the handle. The handle is movably coupled to the first manifold so as to be movable from a first position to a second position. The buckle is configured to engage the second manifold and to move the first and second manifolds into the connected state in response to the handle being moved from the first position to the second position.

    Abstract: A cold plate for cooling an electronic component is disclosed. The cold plate includes a base portion having a fluid channel with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the fluid channel being configured to internally circulate a cooling fluid for carrying heat dissipated by the electrical component; and a cover coupled to the base portion such that the fluid channel is enclosed internally in the cold plate. The cover has a vapor outlet formed on a top side of the cover, the vapor outlet allowing generated vapor to exit from within the cold plate. Also disclosed is a method for cooling the electronic component via the cold plate. The method includes allowing some fluid of the circulating cooling fluid to seep from the fluid channel into an internal chamber, and allowing vapor to be expelled through the vapor outlet.

    Abstract: According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, a system includes a heat-generating component and a thermal wake suppressor positioned downstream from the heat-generating component. The heat-generating component produces a thermal wake in a downstream direction. The thermal wake suppressor includes a spacing grid and a plurality of twist plates extending from the spacing grid at an angle. The spacing grid is defined by a plurality of longitudinal ribs and a plurality of transverse ribs that form a plurality of intersections. The plurality of twist plates is periodically arranged on the plurality of longitudinal ribs and the plurality of transverse ribs, such that a subset of the plurality of twist plates is arranged to break apart the thermal wake into sub-vortexes in the downstream direction.

    Abstract: A cooling system is disclosed for a server rack holding one or more servers. The cooling system includes a cooling module configured to condition coolant to provide cooling within the server rack. The cooling system further includes at least one evaporator configured to couple to an upstream side of the server rack, relative to airflow through the server rack, and cool the airflow flowing into the server rack with the coolant. The cooling system further includes at least one condenser configured to couple to a downstream side of the server rack, relative to the airflow through the server rack, and cool the coolant after the coolant passes through the at least one evaporator.

    Abstract: A lock mechanism within a slot of a computer chassis is disclosed. The lock mechanism includes a gear wheel, a gear rack body, a push rod latch, a push rod body, and a chassis latch. The gear wheel, the gear rack body, the push rod latch, the push rod body, and the chassis latch cooperate to restrict a flap in the slot from opening when the flap is in the closed position, and the chassis latch is engaged with a cutout on the push rod body.

    Abstract: A computer chassis for accepting a front module and a rear module without a midplane board is disclosed. A middle bracket positioned within the chassis facilitates alignment of connectors of the front module and rear module, which can be directly connected together by applying sufficient force. The rear module can be inserted into the chassis and can automatically lock in place, thereby allowing force applied from the front module to be used to connect the connectors of the front module and rear module together, rather than pressing the rear module out of the chassis. The rear module can further include elements to improve safety and structure. In some cases, supplemental locking mechanisms can be used to ensure the rear module cannot be removed until certain sub-modules (e.g., a power supply unit) has been removed.

    Abstract: A server includes an inner housing disposed within an outer housing such that a channel is defined between them. The inner housing includes a low-power electronic component and a high-power electronic component, and is sealed to protect the components. A first heat sink extends through the inner housing. Heat generated by the low-power electronic component is transferred through an inner portion of the first heat sink to an outer portion of the first heat sink. A second heat sink disposed in the channel is coupled to the high-power electronic component via heat pipes that extend through the inner housing. Heat generated by the high-power electronic component is transferred through the heat pipes to the second heat sink. A fan positioned in the channel causes air to enter the channel through a first vent, flow through the channel, and exit the channel via a second vent to remove the generated heat.
