    Abstract: A component carrier with a tray, a slide cage, a level, and a tilting mechanism. The tray has a bottom surface with a groove formed therein. The slide cage is actuatably coupled with the tray and has a receiving space and an undercarriage. The lever is pivotally coupled with the slide cage and has a lower portion for engaging the groove to transition the slide cage between a first position and a second position. The tilting mechanism is coupled with the tray and configured for biasing the slide cage to the second position. In the first position the undercarriage of the slide cage is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray. In the second position a first end portion of the undercarriage of the slide cage is displaced away from the bottom surface and a second end portion is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for reducing upstream preheat for high-density hard disk drive storage. A system can include first and second rows of storage devices installed in a storage rack, the first and second rows having a first distance between consecutive storage devices. The second row can be located behind the first row and farther away from a source of an airflow than the first row. The system can monitor a temperature associated with the second row and when the temperature rises above a threshold, the system can remove a storage device from the first row. The system can then adjust placement within the first row such that the remaining devices have a second, larger distance between each other to increase airflow to storage devices in the second row and reduce system impedance.

    Abstract: A connection adapter is provided. In certain configurations, the connection adapter includes an input portion with a plurality of sets of input connectors, a first output portion extending from the input portion in a first direction and including a first set of output connectors, and a second output portion extending from the input portion in a second direction and including a second set of output connectors. In the connection adapter, the sets of input connectors are electrically coupled to each of the first set of output connectors and the second set of output connectors. Further, the first and second directions are substantially perpendicular to each other, while the input portion extends in a third direction that is not substantially perpendicular to the first direction or the second direction.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and computer-readable medium for optimizing a fan control system inside a rack system. In at least one example embodiment, the system can include a rack server with a plurality of chassis each having at least one node, each of the nodes including at least one adjustable air vent and configured for adjusting the at least one adjustable air vent based on an air flow requirement of the node. The system can further include a plurality of fans, where the plurality of fans are configured to operate based on a control signal. The system also can comprise a fan control logic board, wherein the fan control logic board is configured to receive from each node in the plurality of chassis the air flow requirements and based on the plurality of air flow requirements generate and transmit the control signal to the plurality of fans.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for hardware recovery are disclosed. In some examples, a system can detect a hardware error and identify a system component associated with the hardware error. The system can then generate a request configured to trigger an operating system of the system to place the system in a particular operating state. The particular operating state can be determined based on a component type of the system component. The particular operating state can be a first sleep state when the component type is a peripheral component or a second sleep state when the component type is a processor, a memory, or a power supply. The second sleep state can result in a lower power resource consumption than the first sleep state. The system can generate an indication that the system component can be replaced without restarting the operating system.

    Abstract: A server system may include a plurality of internal hubs communicatively coupled to a plurality of server nodes. The plurality of internal hubs may communicate with an external hub to transmit broadcast traffic to reach a designated server node. A hub controller, a routing device coupled to the plurality of internal hubs, may select an internal hub from among a plurality of internal hubs based on a link status and a set of hub selection rules. Based on a status of active link and a relative priority of internal hubs, an internal hub is selected as a transmission channel to receive broadcast traffic from the external hub and direct the broadcast traffic to a corresponding server node.
