Abstract: A heat sink assembly for a cage for a field replaceable computing module includes a heat sink, a thermal interface material (TIM), and an actuation assembly. The heat sink includes a mating surface. The TIM includes a first surface that is coupled to the mating surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface. Thus, the second surface can engage a heat transfer surface of a field replaceable computing module installed adjacent the heat sink. The actuation assembly includes a shape memory alloy (SMA) element. When the SMA element is in a first position, the second surface of the TIM contacts the heat transfer surface of the computing module. When the SMA element moves to a second position, the second surface of the TIM is moved a distance away from the heat transfer surface of the computing module.

Abstract: A method comprises, at a power balancing circuit for three-phase AC power: feeding three power phases to respective loads; measuring power drain on the three power phases by the respective loads; based on measuring, detecting an unbalanced power drain across the three power phases due to a relatively light power drain on one or more lightly loaded power phases and a relatively high power drain on one or more heavily loaded power phases; computing an amount of power to be drained from the one or more lightly loaded power phases and to be fed to the one or more heavily loaded power phases to balance the power drain across the three power phases; and transferring the amount of power from the one or more lightly loaded power phases to the one or more heavily loaded power phases to balance the power drain across the three power phases.

Abstract: A computing device is secured in an enclosure by a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a jaw, a transmission lever, and an arm. The jaw is configured to abut a portion of the enclosure for holding the computing device. The transmission lever includes an arm pivot at one end and an actuating pivot at the opposite end. The arm is configured to rotate open and closed about the arm pivot and be selectively decoupled from the transmission lever. When the arm is coupled to the transmission lever, opening the arm causes the transmission lever to rotate open about the actuating pivot. Rotating open the transmission lever about the actuating pivot releases the jaw from the portion of the enclosure, and allows the computing device to be removed from the enclosure.

Abstract: A method that includes receiving an indication at a modular electronic system of initiation of online removal for a module removably inserted into a slot of the modular electronic system, increasing a fan speed at the modular electronic system before the module is removed, monitoring an internal temperature at the modular electronic system, and providing an indication that the module is ready for removal upon reaching a specified cooling state at the modular electronic system based on the temperature monitoring. A panel on an adjacent module is opened and extends into the slot upon removal of the module to substantially block airflow bypass from the slot and maintain cooling within the modular electronic system. An apparatus and logic are also disclosed herein.
