    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an intake system for a fan module within a computer system. The intake system includes a cowling positioned in line with an intake path of the fan module. The cowling is configured to direct air into the fan module. The system further includes a remote intake that has a remote inlet, a remote outlet, and a remote conduit. The remote inlet is configured to intake air from around an element that is within the computer system and outside of the intake path of the fan module. The remote outlet is configured to discharge the air from the remote inlet into the intake path of the fan module. The remote conduit is configured to transport the air from the remote inlet to the remote outlet.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling two or more PSUs of a server system. An exemplary method comprises first determining whether the PSUs are switched on to an AC power source. If the PSUs are found not switched on to an AC power source, the method further comprises restarting the AC power source for the PSUs and completing a software-based recovery process. If the PSUs are found to be switched on to an AC power source, the method further comprises determining whether the PSUs meet a predefined criterion. If the PSUs do meet a predefined criterion, the method further comprises disabling a cold-redundancy mode for the PSUs. If the PSUs do not meet a predefined criterion, the method further comprises starting a wake-up process for a first PSU from a cold-redundancy mode.

    Abstract: A hot swappable fan module includes an outer frame, a cooling fan, a fixing element, and a light guide assembly. The cooling fan is located on one side of the outer frame. The fixing element is operable to fix the outer frame and the cooling fan. The light guide assembly includes a light guide post, a first stopping portion, and a second stopping portion. The light guide post penetrates through the cooling fan and the outer frame. The first stopping portion is located on the light guide post, and abuts against one surface of the cooling fan opposite to the outer frame. The second stopping portion is arranged opposite to the first stopping portion, is light-transmittable, and is optically coupled to the light guide post, and abuts against one surface of the outer frame opposite to the cooling fan.

    Abstract: A locking mechanism for securing a component card to a main board is provided and includes a base having a top portion with a beveled edge and a coupling portion engageable with the main board. The locking mechanism includes a sliding element slidably, coupled to the base, having an extended protrusion. The sliding element is slidable between a locked and an unlocked position, where the protrusion is displaced towards the base in the unlocked position. The locking mechanism includes a biasing element between the base and the sliding element within a protuberance opposite the protrusion. The biasing element urges the sliding element toward the locked position. The protuberance includes an aperture formed at an end opposite the protrusion and allows a portion of the biasing element to pass through. In the locked position, a bottom surface of the protrusion and a top surface of the base define a receiving space.
