Abstract:
An earthquake protective server rack is provided including an upper server rack frame to house a server and a lower server rack frame. The lower server rack frame combines linear modules that dissipate earthquake energy along the X- and Y-axes and a dampening module that dissipates earthquake energy along a Z-axis. Mechanical movement of the feet on the lower server rack frame permits movement of the protective sever rack on rollers or alternatively to permit full function of the earthquake energy absorbing function while supported by the feet.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reverse mounting an electronic device in a server housing is provided. The apparatus includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a coupling. The first bracket couples to the device body and extends outward from the device body toward a front rail of the server housing. The first bracket includes a first end configured to releasably couple to front rail of the server housing. The second bracket includes a protrusion that extends outward from the device body in an opposite direction relative to the first bracket. The coupling includes a first portion that couples to a rear rail of the server housing and a second portion defining a channel that receives the protrusion of the second bracket.
Abstract:
A server rack can include a plurality of server chassis. The server chassis can form a opening configured to receive a removable fan through the opening. The removable fan can including a plurality of shutters, the plurality of shutters can be automatically transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration the fan can draw in or push out air to cool the components located within the server chassis. In the closed configuration the shutters can prevent air from entering or exiting the server chassis. A flap can be coupled to the server chassis and automatically transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration the fan is inserted into the server chassis and the flaps are opened into the server chassis. In the closed configuration the fan is removed from the server chassis and the flaps can prevent air from entering or exiting the server chassis.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a hybrid cooling apparatus can be used to cool computing components within a computing device. For example, the apparatus can comprise a plurality of conductors coupled at one end to a plurality of heat generating computing components. The plurality of conductors can be coupled at another end to a liquid cooling rack. The liquid cooling rack can comprise a radiator, and the plurality of conductors can be coupled to the liquid cooling rack at the radiator. The liquid cooling rack can be adapted to cycle cold liquid coolant through the radiator. Heat generated by the computing components is conducted through the conductors to the radiator and dissipated by the cold liquid coolant.
Abstract:
A robotic vehicle, a datacenter, and a method for maintaining the datacenter are disclosed. The robotic vehicle comprises a moving apparatus, a robotic arm, a network module, and a processor. The network module receives a network packet. The processor generates the rack location and the component location according to the network packet. The processor controls the moving apparatus to move to the rack location and controls the robotic arm to move to the component location to replace a failed server component.
Abstract:
A server device includes a tray having a lug, a hard disk unit removably disposed on the tray, and a handle pivotally connected to two opposite sides of the hard disk unit. The lug is formed with a slot thereon to define two inner edges opposite to each other. The handle is provided with a protrusion arranged in the slot. When the handle is rotated towards one end of the hard disk unit, the protrusion is rotated along with the handle to contact and push one of the inner edges of the lug, such that the hard disk unit is restrained by the tray after the hard disk unit is slid in relative to the tray.
