    Abstract: A server rack for supporting a plurality of servers of varying heights includes opposing side walls each including one or more vertical tracks. A first column of holes is disposed in one of the vertical tracks and a second column of holes disposed in a corresponding opposing vertical track of the opposing side wall. A third and fourth column of holes are disposed adjacent to and corresponding to the first column of holes and the second column of holes. A first pair of opposing rails are each disposed on the opposing side walls. Each of the opposing rails are mechanically secured to the one or more vertical tracks at the first and second columns of holes. The first pair of opposing rails are configured to support a first server having a first height. For the first and second columns of holes, the spacing between holes is predefined to accommodate opposing rails to support servers of the first height. For the third and fourth columns of holes, the spacing between holes is predefined to accommodate rails to support servers of a second different height and a different size than the first server.

    Abstract: A quick-connector comprises a first body portion, a second body portion, and a ball valve. The first body portion defines a first fluid channel. The second body portion defines a second fluid channel. The second body portion is coupled to the first body portion such that the first fluid channel is aligned with the second fluid channel. The first fluid channel and the second fluid channel form a fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. The ball valve is positioned in the fluid channel extending through the quick-connector. Movement of the first body portion and the second body portion relative to each other causes the ball valve to move between a flow position and a sealed position. In the flow position, the ball valve allows fluid to flow through the quick-connector. In the sealed position, the ball valve prevents fluid from flowing through the quick-connector.

    Abstract: An equipment assembly that allows easier replacement of heat-generating electrical components is disclosed. The assembly includes a rack for containing a heat-generating electrical component. The component includes a coolant inlet, a coolant outlet, and a drain connector. A cold manifold supplies coolant to the heat-generating electrical component through the coolant inlet. A hot manifold collects coolant from the heat-generating electrical component through the coolant outlet. A drain manifold includes a coupler. The coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are disconnected from the cold and hot manifolds. The drain connector is fluidly connected to the drain manifold to drain coolant from the heat-generating electrical component before the heat-generating electrical component is removed from the rack.

    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an electronic component is provided. The apparatus includes a heat-absorbing base configured to contact the electronic component within a server device and a heat-dissipating body connected to the heat-absorbing base. The heat-dissipating body includes a heat-dissipating static feature and at least one heat-dissipating dynamic feature. The at least one heat-dissipating dynamic feature is configured to be repositioned about the heat-dissipating static feature to increase a surface area of the heat-dissipating body. Using hinge device and flexible metal conduit connect and transfer heat to them (dynamic and static feature). This apparatus will follow currently assembly process and also not impact the other device assembly method. The more space we have inside the product the more heat we can solve.
