    摘要: A method includes supplying power to a physical server from a plurality of power supplies, wherein operation of all hardware components of the server requires more power than any one of the power supplies can provide. A plurality of jobs are run on the server while the plurality of power supplies are supplying power to the physical server. The method further comprises identifying an amount of power required by each of the components, and identifying one or more components that are not required by one or more of the jobs that are running on the server. The method detects a loss of power from one of the power supplies and then selectively removes power from hardware components identified as not required so that at least a central processing unit and a memory device can continue running at least one job using power available from the operational power supplies.

    摘要: A method comprising flowing a liquid through supply pipe couplings to a fin tube assembly of an air-to-liquid heat exchanger and through the fin tube assembly to return pipe couplings, wherein the fin tube assembly forms a central air flow pathway. The method further comprises passing air through components within a rack secured to the rear door heat exchanger and through the fin tube assembly and detecting an operating condition within the rack. The method then automatically moves the fin tube assembly from a retracted position to an extended position in response to the operating condition, wherein the retracted position directs substantially all of the air to exit the rack through the central air flow pathway, and wherein the extended position allows the air to exit through the central air flow pathway and also through first and second side air flow pathways.
