    Abstract: The disclosed method may include (1) monitoring, while a computing device receives power from an external power supply, (A) the amount of power consumed by the computing device and (B) the amount of power provided to the computing device by the external power supply, (2) detecting that the amount of power provided to the computing device exceeds the amount of power consumed by the computing device by at least a certain threshold, (3) determining, based on the amount of power provided to the computing device exceeding the amount of power consumed by the computing device by the certain threshold, that the computing device is experiencing a malfunction, and then (4) mitigating potential damage to the computing device due to the malfunction by at least partially reducing the amount of power provided to the computing device from the external power supply. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for an electronic device in which a communication plane having a plurality of slots for receiving communication cards further includes an interface for receiving a pluggable module that operates to relay signals within the communication plane. The electronic device includes a plurality of removable communication cards and a communication plane having slots for receiving the plurality of removable communication cards. The electronic device also includes the pluggable module that is removably coupled to and external from the communication plane. The pluggable module receives a signal from a transmitting communication card from off of the communication plane, compensates for loss experienced by the signal or loss that will be experienced by the signal, and transmits the compensated signal back onto the communication plane and to a receiving communication card.

    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus may include (1) an FRU that (A) is designed to mate with a backplane of a telecommunications system and (B) facilitates communication among computing devices within a network and (2) at least one multi-bar ejector that (A) is coupled to the FRU, (B) fastens to a housing of the telecommunications system to enable the FRU to mate with the backplane of the telecommunications system, and (C) includes a spring coupled to at least one bar of the multi-bar ejector that, when the multi-bar ejector is fastened to the housing of the telecommunications system, applies a force on the FRU that pushes the FRU toward the backplane of the telecommunications system. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
