摘要: A connector includes a connector base with a first end that may be inserted in a port, and a second end located opposite the connector base from the first end. A connector release tab extends from the connector base adjacent the first end and moves relative to the connector base. A connector securing feature on the connector release tab may engage a port to secure the connector base in that port. A connector release system includes a connector release linkage coupled to the connector release tab and extending through the connector base, and a connector release actuator adjacent the second end of the connector base and coupled to the connector release linkage. The connector release actuator may be actuated to move, via the connector release linkage, the connector release tab to disengage the connector securing feature from a port such that the connector base may be removed from that port.

摘要: A device information display system includes a device information display chassis with a display device, a device information display connector that is configured to connect to a computing device connector on any of a plurality of computing devices, and a device information retrieval subsystem coupled to each of the display device and the device information display connector. The device information retrieval subsystem automatically receives first device information associated with a first computing device from the first computing device in response to the device information display connector being connected to the first computing device and, while the device information display connector is connected to the first computing device, provides the first device information for display on the display device. Subsequent to the device information display connector being disconnected from the first computing device, the device information retrieval subsystem continues to provide the first device information for display on the display device.

摘要: A powering patch panel system includes a patch panel device coupled to a power source, and including a first port that is coupled to a networking device via a first cable and a second port that is coupled to the powered device via a second cable. The patch panel device receives data that is directed to the powered device from the networking device through the first port and via the first cable, and receives power from the power source. The patch panel device then transmits both the data and a subset of the power through the second port and via the second cable to the powered device. The first port may be provided by optical-fiber-based port and the first cable may be provided by an optical-fiber-based cable, while the second port may be provided by a hybrid conductive-material/optical-fiber-based port and the second cable may be provided by a hybrid conductive-material/optical-fiber-based cable.

摘要: An information handling system may include a chassis configured to house components of the information handling system and a modular power supply module configured to be readily removable from the chassis. The modular power supply module may include an enclosure, power supply components housed within the enclosure, an air mover configured to drive airflow to cool one or more components of the information handling system, and a mechanical assembly configured to mechanically couple the air mover to the enclosure that enables a user to remove the air mover from the enclosure while still coupled to the enclosure via the mechanical assembly, rotate the air mover 180 degrees relative to the enclosure while still coupled to the enclosure via the mechanical assembly, and reinsert the air mover into the enclosure, in order to modify a direction of airflow driven by the air mover.

摘要: A powering co-packaged networking system includes a powering co-packaged networking device coupled via a power/data cable to a powered device. The powering co-packaged networking device includes a connector subsystem coupled to a power controller device and an optical/electrical signal conversion processing system that converts between optical signals and electrical signals. The connector subsystem is connected to the powered device via a power/data connector on the power/data cable, and includes an optical signal sub-connector that receives optical signals from the optical/electrical signal conversion processing system and transmits the optical signals via the power/data connector on the power/data cable and through the power/data cable to the powered device, and a power sub-connector that receives power from the power controller device and transmits the power via the power/data connector on the power/data cable and through the power/data cable to the powered device.

摘要: A power/data transmission extender system includes a power/data transmission extender device that is coupled to a powering device and a powered device. The power/data transmission extender device receives power and data from the powering device via a first power/data cable that is connected to the power/data transmission extender device, and stores at least a portion of the power that was received from the powering device via the first power/data cable in a power storage subsystem that is included in the power/data transmission extender device. The power/data transmission extender device may then transmit the data that was received from the powering device, at least a portion of the power that was received from the powering device, and at least a portion of power that is stored in the power storage subsystem, to the powered device via a second power/data cable that is connected to the power/data transmission extender device.

摘要: A combined data/power coupling device includes a chassis having first and second powering device connectors and a powered device connector each coupled to a data/power coupling subsystem. The data/power coupling subsystem configures each of the first and second powering device connectors to receive power from at least one powering device, configures the first powering device connector to receive data from the at least one powering device, and provides data and power received via the first powering device connector to a powered device via the powered device connector. When the data/power coupling subsystem determines that data and power are not available via the first powering device connector, it configures the second powering device connector to receive data from the at least one powering device, and provides data and power received via the second powering device connector to the powered device via the powered device connector.

摘要: An inter-device cabling movement system includes a base and a plurality of cable attachment devices that extend from the base in a port identification sequence. Each of the plurality of cable attachment devices includes a cable engagement element that is configured to engage a respective cable, and a cable securing element that is configured to secure the cable engagement element to the respective cable. The cable engagement elements and cable securing elements may be utilized to secure each cable attachment device to respective cables connected to first ports on a first device so that those respective cables may be disconnected from the first pots on the first device and reconnected to second ports on a second device based on the port identification sequence.
