    Abstract: A method for controlling air flow in a server rack includes storing, by a switch, a connection table, the connection table comprising information for rack positions corresponding to switch ports of the switch. The switch obtains address information of at least one management controller corresponding to at least one device connected to the switch ports of the switch. The switch determines a rack position for each of the at least one device, based on the table and the address information. The switch receives from a rack management controller (RMC), a request for the rack position for each of the at least one device. The switch sends to the RMC, the rack position for each of the at least one device. The RMC controls fan speed for the at least one device, based on the rack position for each of the at least one device.

    Abstract: A modularized server comprises a rack, a switching mechanism, and a removable electronic device. The rack comprises a first slot and a second slot. The switching mechanism is disposed on the rack. When the removable electronic device is inserted into the first slot, the removable electronic device is operable to drive the switching mechanism to a switching position. The switching mechanism at the switching position can stop another removable electronic device different from a specific design of the removable electronic device from being inserted into the second slot.

    Abstract: In some implementations, power provided to a computing system, such as a rack system, may be interrupted. This interruption is detected, and in response, power from a battery backup system is directed to the computing system to replace the interrupted power source, which in some implementations may be a main AC power grid source. A signal is received indicating that a backup power source, for example a backup generator system, is online and prepared to deliver power to the computing system. For an initial period of time, this backup power source is prevented from providing power to the computing system. For example, the backup generator system may be providing power to a power supply unit of the computing system, but the power is not allowed to flow to the computing system. After the initial period of time passes, the power provided to the computing system by the battery backup unit is reduced at a particular rate of change while the power from the backup generator system is allowed to flow to the computing system through the power supply unit.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a display, a sliding track, a hinge, and a host. The display has a receiving groove. The sliding track is disposed in the display, and faces the receiving groove. The hinge is movably disposed on the sliding track, and located in the receiving groove. The host is disposed on the hinge. The host is rotated and moved relative to the display via the hinge. When the portable electronic device is in a tablet mode, the host is located in the receiving groove, and sustainably parallel to the display.
