Abstract: A computing system includes a cabinet, an inlet temperature sensor, a cooling device, an environmental sensor, and at least one processor. The cabinet houses at least one computing device. The inlet temperature sensor is configured to detect inlet temperature data for the at least one computing device. The inlet temperature data represents internal temperature within the cabinet. The cooling device is coupled to the cabinet for maintaining temperature within the cabinet. The environmental sensor is configured to detect environmental temperature data external to the cabinet. The environmental temperature data represents external temperature outside the cabinet. The at least one processor is configured to: (a) determine if one or more of the inlet temperature data and the environmental temperature data exceeds a temperature range; and (b) in response to the temperature range being exceeded, generate a first warning signal indicating a temperature problem.

Abstract: A chassis includes a receiver frame for receiving a plurality of electronic components. The receiver frame includes a front end, a rear end, a top wall, and a bottom wall. The receiver frame also includes one or more apertures positioned in the bottom wall or the top wall at a location adjacent to the front end. The receiver frame also includes a plurality of air flow channels coupling openings in the front end to the one or more apertures such that air flow from the openings of the front end is first directed towards the rear end across the plurality of electronic components before being directed back towards the front end and then exiting the one or more apertures.

Abstract: Cooling devices, such as fans, installed in a computing device can be automatically identified by reading an encoded signal from the cooling device's tachometer signal line. A cooling device can temporarily output an encoded signal in response to a trigger event, such as a power on event (e.g., powering-on of the cooling device). A controller, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC), can receive the encoded signal and decode the signal to determine identification information about the cooling device, such as vendor information and/or model information. The identification information about the cooling device can be stored, logged, output, and/or used to customize the operation of the cooling device.

Abstract: A cooling system for an electronic device includes a central processing unit (CPU), a remote heat sink, and a heat-pipe module. The CPU is mounted on a base of the electronic device, and the remote heat sink receives heat generated by the CPU. The heat-pipe module has a plurality of heat pipes for transferring the heat generated by the CPU to the remote heat sink. Each heat pipe has a circular section extending between a first end and a second end. The first end has a flattened, non-circular shape, and is coupled to the base near the CPU. The second end is coupled to the remote heat sink. The first end of each heat pipe is in direct contact with at least another first end of an adjacent heat pipe.
