    Abstract: An equipment assembly for cooling heat-generating electrical components is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing for containing a heat-generating electrical component. The housing includes an open end having a planar area. A closed-loop liquid cooling system includes a liquid coolant conduit in proximity to the heat-generating electrical component. The conduit allows circulation of a liquid coolant to extract heat from the heat-generating electrical component. A heat exchanger is fluidly coupled to the liquid coolant conduit to extract heat from circulated liquid coolant within the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a shaped front facing the open end of the housing. The surface area of the shaped front is greater than the planar area of the open end. An air flow system propels ambient air through the shaped front of the heat exchanger.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for engaging a mounting panel of a computer device includes a bracket, as well as a lever and slider mechanism connected to the bracket. The lever and slider mechanism includes a base, a wedge slider, a lever, a geared bar, and a biasing element. The base is connected to the bracket. The wedge slider is connected to the bracket and disposed immediately below the base. Rotating the lever from a first position to a second position causes a gear to engage the geared bar, causing the geared bar to move vertically. The rotating allows movement along the contact between an angled end of the geared bar and a wedged end protrusion of the wedge slider such that the biasing element pushes the wedge slider away from the bracket and allows the wedge slider to engage an opening in a mounting panel.

    Abstract: A cooling unit having two single piece cold plate pipe components is disclosed. The cooling unit has a first pipe operable to transport coolant. A first cold plate has a top surface with a lateral groove to accept a section of the first pipe. The groove includes a first inlet coupled to a first hole in the section of the first pipe. The groove has a first outlet coupled to a second hole in the section of the first pipe. Coolant is circulated from the first inlet through the cold plate to the first outlet. The section of the first pipe is connected to the first cold plate. A second pipe is operable to transport coolant. A second cold plate is located next to the first cold plate. The second cold plate has a groove to accept a section of the second pipe. The groove includes an inlet coupled to a first hole in the section of the second pipe. The groove includes an outlet coupled to a second hole in the section of the second pipe. The coolant is circulated from the second inlet through the second cold plate to the second outlet. The section of the second pipe is connected to the second cold plate.

    Abstract: An immersion liquid cooling tank rack for heat-generating components includes immersion liquid cooling tanks for containing a coolant liquid. Horizontal extendable slide rails are mounted on opposing side faces of each tank and on opposing side walls of the rack. The horizontal extendable slide rails are movable between a closed position and an extended open position to allow the tanks to slide horizontally in and out of the rack. Support structures are mounted to the base of each of the immersion liquid cooling tanks. Each support structure includes a wheel assembly disposed at the base of the support structure. The support structures extend from the base of the tank to a floor surface supporting the rack. The horizontal extendable slide rails and the support structures substantially support an operational immersion liquid cooling tank during a horizontal translation of the tank between the closed position and the extended open position.

    Abstract: A protective device for a cable in the form of a plurality of interconnected links forming a chain. At least one of the links comprises a retaining element, which may be a C-shaped or an L-shaped element which completes the formation of an enclosed void into which a cable can be inserted for protection. Each link preferably includes two opposed sidewalls connected by a bottom wall and the C-shaped or L-shaped element. When the retaining member is the L-shaped element, the L-shaped element is hingedly connected to one of the opposed sidewalls.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a hard drive carrier is configured to couple and decouple a hard drive to/from a chassis (e.g., motherboard). The hard drive carrier can receive and house a hard drive in a base securing portion, the base securing portion adapted to slide and tilt in relation to a base of the hard drive carrier. The hard drive carrier can include a pivoting lever comprising a handle that can be used to couple and decouple the hard drive from the motherboard. Using the handle to pivot the lever into an open position causes the hard drive to tilt upwards to decouple from the chassis and facilitate insertion or removal of the hard drive to/from the hard drive carrier. Pivoting the lever into a closed position causes the hard drive to lie flat and couple to the chassis.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a cooling chassis for a cooling system of a computer system. The cooling chassis includes a housing configured to allow air to pass through in a housing air flow direction. A first radiator is within the housing. The first radiator is oriented at a first oblique angle relative to the housing air flow direction. A first fan is configured to direct air through the first radiator in a first fan air flow direction oblique to the housing air flow direction.
