Abstract: A device includes an interposer card that includes a processor, such as a system on a chip (SoC), and memory devices. The interposer card mounts to a mass storage device and has a shape that corresponds to a size of an end of the mass storage device to which the interposer card is mounted. The SoC of the interposer card is configured to implement an individual server for the mass storage device to which the interposer card is mounted. In some embodiments, a data storage system includes multiple mass storage devices mounted in a chassis and coupled to one or more backplanes, wherein interposer cards are connected between the mass storage devices and the one or more backplanes.

Abstract: Various mounting systems for mounting heat sink apparatus to bare die processors are disclosed. The mounting systems include an upper plate, which may include a heat transfer portion, positioned in proximity to the upper surface of bare die processors to provide heat conduction away from the processors. The disclosed mounting systems secure the upper plate to the processors with balanced and centralized forces to inhibit tilting of the upper plate and reduce the risk of damaging the processors.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for tracking and providing real-time visualizations of maintenance time for datacenter components. The systems include sensors to detect when datacenter components are opened for maintenance, such as hot switching of hard drive disks, to initialize a countdown timer. Status indicator lights of components within the datacenter component are used to display visual representations of the countdown timer. The visualizations present a remaining or elapsed maintenance time remaining to ensure components of the datacenter component are not damaged by overheating during maintenance.
