    摘要: A computer system includes a plurality of subsystems cooled by a cooling flow; at least one redirection device, a management module, and a blower for generating the cooling flow. The redirection device is associated with at least one subsystem and operable to redirect at least a portion of the cooling flow away from the subsystem. The subsystems, the at least one redirection device, and the blower are disposed along a common cooling flow path. The management module is configured to determine cooling requirements of the subsystems and to control the operation of the blower and the at least one redirection device to maintain a specified amount of cooling to the subsystems and to reduce acoustical noise generated by the blower.

    摘要: A cooling system includes a cooling fan with an outlet and an inlet and a shroud surrounding at least a portion of the cooling fan. The cooling fan includes a plurality of fan blades, and each fan blade includes an inlet portion and an outlet portion that define an outer periphery of the fan blade. The outlet portion has a profile defined by a radial distance, perpendicular from a central axis of the fan, increasing in a direction towards the outlet. The average angle, relative to a central axis of the fan, of either a profile of the outlet portion or a profile of a portion of the shroud surrounding the outlet portion is between about ±15° of an average angle to the central axis at which a flow of fluid exits the outer periphery of the fan blades or between about 20° and about 70°.

    摘要: A heat sink device for conventional memory modules, such as DIMMs, that is configured to be positioned between adjacent memory modules mounted in substantially parallel connectors on a printed circuit board. Each heat sink device includes thermally conductive first and second members configured to thermally couple with electronic components of a conventional memory module. The first and second members may be resiliently biased away from one another so that the resilient bias causes the members to abut respective electronic components when placed between adjacent memory modules. A separate wedge, or a lever-mounted wedge, may be provided for insertion between the members to urge them away from one another and into abutting relationship with electronic components on facing surfaces of the adjacent memory modules. When abutting opposing electronic components, a single heat sink device facilitates heat dissipation from both of the adjacent memory modules.

The first plenum is configured such that a first portion of the air sufficient to cool the first plurality of devices is drawn from the blades into the first plenum, through the first plurality of devices and into the common plenum. The second plenum is configured in an analogous manner for the second plurality of devices. The common plenum is configured such that a remaining portion of the air from the blades is drawn into the common plenum, and such that the first and second portions of the air are received into the common plenum from the first and second plurality of devices, respectively.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include an adaptive system and method for cooling a computer system. A plurality of interchangeable fans may be provided for cooling the computer system. Each fan may have different operational limits, but with a minimum fan speed selected so that all of the fans produce substantially the same airflow rate at the respective minimum fan speed. In one embodiment, the operational limits are stored in a computer-readable storage medium on a computer system cooling fan. The stored fan speeds are electronically retrieved from the fan, and a fan speed table is automatically generated from the retrieved maximum and minimum fan speeds. The fan speed table includes cooling state values indexed to specific fan speed values. The fan is operated at a fan speed associated with a dynamically selected cooling state.

    摘要: A printer has a heat source disposed adjacent a temperature sensor to transfer heat upon activation across a portion of an introduced print media to the temperature sensor and a controller to receive a signal from the temperature sensor and to obtain a temperature signature generally identifying attributes of the introduced print media and to adjust print head settings in response to the identified attributes. The printer may further comprise a sensor to detect access to a print media storage compartment and to initiate examination of the heat transfer properties of the introduced print media upon detecting that the print storage compartment has been accessed.
