    摘要: In one example, a heat pipe is configured to absorb and transfer heat away from ambient air of a data center to cool the ambient air circulating in the data center to cool devices of the data center, and a fluid interface is thermally coupled to the heat pipe and configured to cool the heat pipe via a coolant fluid circulating in the data center. In another example, a heat pipe configured to release transferred heat to air, and a fluid interface is thermally coupled to the heat pipe and configured to exchange heat to the heat pipe to cool a coolant fluid circulating in a data center to cool devices of the data center.

    摘要: A data-center-module deployment apparatus may include a gantry robot adapted to move a sliding element parallel to a face of an information technology rack, where the face of the information technology rack exposes information technology device modules stored by the information technology rack. The apparatus may also include at least one track that is coupled to the sliding element and that extends away from the sliding element and toward the face of the information technology rack. In addition to the track(s), the apparatus may include an engaging element that is adapted to move along the track(s) and to engage with one or more of the information technology device modules stored by the information technology rack, such that the engaging element is adapted to insert into the information technology rack and remove from the information technology rack one or more of the plurality of information technology device modules.
