    摘要: The invention provides EMI cable shield termination apparatus. The apparatus includes (a) a cable exit panel coupled to a first electronic system and (b) one or more clamps coupled to the exit panel. The exit panel serves as an interface for one or more cables coupled to the first electronic system; the clamps provide mechanical coupling, and EMI shielding, for the cables to that interface. The exit panel couples to electrical ground such as through connection to the chassis of the first electronic system. The clamps also couple to ground through connection with the exit panel. Preferably, one end of the cables attaches to the clamps, at the interface formed by the exit panel, and the other end of the cables attach to respective ferrules coupled to a second electronics system. Beneficially, the apparatus reduces EMI effects generated from the first electronic system and coupled into the second electronic system. In preferred aspects of the invention, the first and second electronic systems are computers; and each of the clamps forms at least one aperture (“clamp aperture”) to affix to a cable coupled to the first electronic system. The invention facilitates configurable cable shield terminations to meet mechanical requirements of a given installation; that is, a single cable construction permits multiple optional clamp attachment locations to accommodate different separations of the attached equipment.

    摘要: Climate regulation within an enclosure (e.g., a case of a workstation or a rack or cabinet of servers) may be achieved through a climate regulator featuring several selectable climate regulator settings (e.g., a variable-speed fan array). Controllers of such climate regulators often select climate regulator settings based on current conditions inside the enclosure, such as the temperature of one or more processors operating within the enclosure. However, such control fails to account for the climate of air outside the enclosure that is drawn in to provide climate regulation, even though the climate properties of inlet air may significantly affect the effectiveness of climate regulation. Accordingly, a controller of a climate regulator may be configured to detect inlet climate properties of air directed into the enclosure, and to map the inlet climate properties (alone or in combination with other factors) to a selected climate regulator setting for the climate regulator.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which magnetic flux is used to provide backup power. A transformer has a line power source controllably coupled to a first input winding, and secondary power source controllably coupled to a second input winding. A controller monitors the line power and switches to the secondary power source if the line power voltage drops too low, or uses the secondary power source to augment the line power source if the line power current gets too high. Also described is incrementally transitioning from the secondary power source back to the line power source.

    摘要: Climate regulation within a chassis of an electronics enclosure (e.g., a workstation case or a server cabinet) may be achieved through an airflow regulated by at least one climate regulator devices (e.g., a variable-speed fan array) and a plenum configured to direct the airflow at the components of the enclosure. The enclosure may store a set of chassis, each having a dedicated plenum and climate regulator devices. However, this architecture may be less efficient than an architecture wherein adjacently mounted chassis may connect plenums (e.g., directly connecting an exhaust of one plenum with an inlet of the adjacent plenum) to unify the airflow directed through several chassis. Additionally, the chassis may feature a removable portion of the plenum wall that provides access to the plenum, and the climate regulator devices may be mounted on the removable portion, such that detachment enables withdrawal and servicing of the climate regulator devices.
