    摘要: This invention involves the efficient placement of a pair of main boards within a given computer chassis. The available density of CPUs and main boards that may be provided for a given chassis height is advantageously increased through the use of a dual opposing main board configuration. With this configuration, two main boards are mounted opposing each other within a chassis. They are placed such that their I/O connectors are on the same side of the main board to improve usability. They are also mounted within the chassis so the components on the main boards (such as the cards, CPU fans, CPU heat sinks, etc.) do not physically interfere with each other. This configuration improves CPU density and cooling, especially when stacked with like chassis.

    摘要: Computer systems and methods of operating a computer system are described. The computer system can include a computer rack; a first stack and a second stack provided in the computer rack, each stack comprising one or more computers; a first cooling plenum configured such that cooling air can flow between the computers in the first stack and the first cooling plenum; and a second cooling plenum configured such that cooling air can flow between the computers in the second stack and the second cooling plenum. The method of operating a plurality of computers may include providing a first and a second computer in a partial back-to-back relationship in the computer rack such that an overlapping portion of the back of the first computer faces an overlapping portion of the back of the second computer; passing cooling air through the first computer and out of an exposed portion of the back of the first computer and into a first cooling plenum or passing cooling air from the first cooling plenum into the first computer; and passing cooling air through the second computer and out of an exposed portion of the back of the second computer and into a second cooling plenum or passing cooling air from the second cooling plenum into the second computer.

    摘要: This involves the efficient placement of multiple computers within a given site. The available density of computer systems that may be provided at a location is advantageously increased through various features. By placement of access space to all elements which require periodic attention at the front of each computer, the need for significant space at the rear of a computer is eliminated. Such a computer hardware configuration facilitates back-to-back placement of computers in a rack. Racks filled in this manner may be arranged in rows or otherwise. The back-to-back computers in a rack define an air/gas column that may be air conditioned. By drawing air from this column (or forcing it) through a computer from its back/sides to its front/sides across heat-generating components, highly-effective cooling with certain advantages is achieved. Alternately, by drawing air from the environment in which the computers are placed and passing it through the front/sides to the back/sides of the computer across heat-generating components, highly-effective cooling associated with other advantages may be achieved.
