    Abstract: An example assembly includes an equipment room, a cabinet fan module having fans, and a processor configured to execute logic. Temperature sensors are positioned in the air inlet channel and the equipment room. An electrical component having an air inlet area is also positioned in the equipment room. The logic causes the fans to operate at a predetermined speed, and compare a temperature in the air inlet channel with a temperature at the air inlet area. In response to determining that the temperature at the air inlet area is greater than the temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value, the operating speed of the fans is increased. Moreover, the operating speed of the fans is decreased in response to determining that the ambient temperature in the air inlet channel plus a constant value is greater than or equal to the temperature at the air inlet area.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for reducing upstream preheat for high-density hard disk drive storage. A system can include first and second rows of storage devices installed in a storage rack, the first and second rows having a first distance between consecutive storage devices. The second row can be located behind the first row and farther away from a source of an airflow than the first row. The system can monitor a temperature associated with the second row and when the temperature rises above a threshold, the system can remove a storage device from the first row. The system can then adjust placement within the first row such that the remaining devices have a second, larger distance between each other to increase airflow to storage devices in the second row and reduce system impedance.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a hybrid cooling apparatus can be used to cool computing components within a computing device. For example, the apparatus can comprise a plurality of conductors coupled at one end to a plurality of heat generating computing components. The plurality of conductors can be coupled at another end to a liquid cooling rack. The liquid cooling rack can comprise a radiator, and the plurality of conductors can be coupled to the liquid cooling rack at the radiator. The liquid cooling rack can be adapted to cycle cold liquid coolant through the radiator. Heat generated by the computing components is conducted through the conductors to the radiator and dissipated by the cold liquid coolant.

    Abstract: An example method for providing cooling capacity and reducing power consumption of a server assembly is disclosed. The method includes receiving temperature information corresponding to a CPU of an electrical component in the server assembly, which further includes an equipment room, and a cabinet fan module positioned adjacent to a side of the equipment room. The cabinet fan module includes electric fans therein, and the electrical component is implemented in the equipment room. The method includes determining a current power level of the CPU, and determining, using the temperature information and the current power level, a first operating speed for the electric fans. Furthermore, the method includes combining the first operating speed with a second operating speed received from a proportional-integral-derivative controller to determine a combined operating speed. The method still further includes instructing the electric fans to operate at the combined operating speed.
