    Abstract: A blank cartridge includes an impedance portion to control a flow of cooling media through the blank cartridge to a plurality of computing components, and an actuator to change an impedance level of the impedance portion. The actuator receives a control signal to change the impedance level of the impedance portion based on a location of the plurality of computing components relative to the blank cartridge.

    Abstract: Blind mate connection techniques and associated connectors are disclosed. Blind mate connectors provide connections where visual inspection at time of connection may not be available. Stacking tolerance increases when connectors have a different set of datums (e.g., a different relative orientation) relative to adjacent connectors. Different datums permit twinning two printed circuit boards (“PCBs”) prior to insertion into a slot of a chassis. Each connector may be attached to a respective PCB utilizing a spring and offset feature to provide a standoff on a respective PCB. Control of standoff and rotational movement (e.g., via brackets) allows each individual connector to have a “float” for improved insertion tolerance. Connector pairs may connect through an opening in a midplane while simultaneously connecting to the midplane. Switch trays and node trays may be inserted through opposing sides of a chassis and be connected through the midplane of that chassis.

    Abstract: In example implementations, a memory cooler is provided. The memory cooler includes a body. The body includes two pieces that are moveable relative to one another. Each piece of the body includes an inlet manifold, an outlet manifold, and a plurality of cold plates extending between the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold. The inlet manifold is to receive liquid coolant from a liquid coolant supply line. The outlet manifold is to return the liquid coolant to the liquid coolant supply line. The liquid coolant flows from the inlet manifold to the outlet manifold through interior channels of the cold plates. The plurality of cold plates of a first piece of the body are interleaved with the plurality of cold plates of a second piece of the body such that slots to receive memory modules are defined between adjacent pairs of cold plates.

    Abstract: Examples described herein include socket covers with air impeding structures. In some examples, a processing unit socket cover comprises a base, an air impeding structure, and an engagement latch. The base may have a surface facing away from the socket and a perimeter defined by the surface. The air impeding structure may protrude from the surface and extend from a first side of the perimeter to a second side of the perimeter, diving the surface. The engagement latch may be connected to the air impeding structure to attach to the socket.

    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a retention assembly. One example retention assembly includes a support member extending from a printed circuit board. The support member includes a body region having a slot and a first flange extending from the body region. The retention assembly also includes a locking member slidably coupled to the support member via the slot. The locking member includes a second flange. The second flange includes a protruded region, and wherein the protruded region and the first flange are to secure a proximal end of expansion module.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an assembly including a bay structure including a bay structure that defines a bay for receiving a pluggable module and including sides and a front plate rotatably connected to the sides, a connecting bracket coupled with the bay structure, and a heat transfer device coupled with the bay structure. The bay structure, the heat transfer device, and the connecting bracket are configured such that rotating the front plate from a first position to a second position displaces the connecting bracket in a first direction which causes the connecting bracket to displace the heat transfer device in a second direction transverse to the first direction.
