    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a power control system for controlling transmission of power from one or more power supply devices to one or more loads of a modular server enclosure. The power control system includes an electronic fuse and a threshold control unit. The electronic fuse is connected between one or more loads and the one or more power supply devices of the modular server enclosure. The threshold control unit is connected to the electronic fuse and to the one or more power supply devices. The threshold control circuit dynamically adjusts a threshold current for the electronic fuse based on a power supply capacity of the one or more power supply devices. The electronic fuse controls the transmission of the power from the one or more power supply devices to the one or more loads based on threshold current and a load current drawn by the one or more loads.

    Abstract: Switches and groups of IO ports, conventionally integrated on a single shared PCB, may be divided into separate switch modules and IO modules that can be connected by high-speed low-loss management cables in a variety of configurations. Thereafter, the separate modules may be replaced independently of each other. Some of the management connections may be parallel, similar to production-data connections. Alternatively, a series of IO modules (e.g., a chain or a ring) may be managed by a single switch module using a management method. The management method may include collecting and updating configuration and status information specific to each of the IO modules and, by extension, each of their IO ports. This enables the switch module to recognize, and thereafter ignore, unconnected ports, removing the performance penalty that sometimes arises when fewer than all available ports are connected. It also allows the switch module to rapidly adjust to addition, subtraction, and replacement of connected IO modules.

    Abstract: An example electrical connector includes a magnetic core embedded in the overmold and encircling conductive paths therein and a Hall-effect sensor embedded in the overmold and configured to sense a magnetic field of the magnetic core. The Hall-effect sensor generates an output that indicates whether or not the supply current flowing through the connector matches the return current flowing through the connector, and this output may be used to detect stray-current faults in which current bypasses the connector to return via alternative paths such as through a device chassis. The connector may include one or more supply wires embedded in the overmold, one or more return wires embedded in the overmold, one or more supply terminals embedded in the overmold and terminating the supply wires, and one or more return terminals embedded in the overmold and terminating the return wires. The magnetic core embedded in the overmold may encircle (a) the supply terminals or the supply wires or both, and (b) the return terminals or the return wires or both.

    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to fabric cable emulation. Some examples disclosed herein include determining connection data associated with a connection between a fabric interface of a cluster node in a fabric cluster and a fabric switch. Based on the determined connection data, configuration parameters for the connection may be calculated and stored in a memory device on the cluster node. An interface signal may be asserted to the fabric interface of the cluster node after the calculated configuration parameters are stored to indicate that the cluster node is available in the fabric cluster.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a fluid cooling assembly for a computing system, and a tool-less method of installing the fluid cooling assembly to the computing system. The fluid cooling assembly includes a plurality of cooling components, and a fluid chamber having a plurality of first fluid connectors. Further, each cooling component includes a plurality of second fluid connectors. Each first fluid connector or each second fluid connector includes a first end to protrude beyond a first surface of a circuit board of the computing system, and a second end to protrude beyond a second surface of the circuit board. Further, the first end of each first fluid connector is connected to the first end of a respective second fluid connector via the circuit board, to establish a parallel fluid flow path between the fluid chamber and each of the plurality of cooling components.
