    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to thermal management in a multi-node computing device. The present technology discloses techniques that can receive multiple control signals from multiple computing nodes, each of the control signals being associated with a fan duty request, which is a request for a fan duty needed to keep a related computing node operating within a predetermined temperature range. The logic controller can rank the received control signals and select a control signal that requests a highest fan duty; lastly, the logic controller can cause multiple cooling fans to operate at the selected highest fan duty.

    Abstract: A server cluster including a network switch and multiple server nodes is provided. The network switch is connected to an external network. Each server node includes a network port, a network chip and a control unit. The network port is connected to the network switch via a cable. The network chip detects the cable to obtain a connection state with the external network at the server node after the network switch is started, and accordingly outputs a connection state signal. The control unit turns on or shuts down the server node according to the connection state signal and an on/off state of the server node.
