    Abstract: A computing device includes a sealed computer chassis housing, a heat source, a heat spreader, and a thermal pad. The sealed computer chassis housing, defines an interior space and an exterior surface with a heat sink for the interior space. The heat source is disposed within the interior space. The heat spreader includes a plurality of thermally-conductive protrusions coupled to one or more components of the heat source by an intermediate thermally conductive layer. The thermal pad is positioned above and in thermal contact with the heat spreader. The thermal pad is positioned to contact an interior wall of the sealed computer chassis housing opposite to the heat sink.

    Abstract: A cooling assembly includes a primary plate, a secondary plate, and a padding layer. The primary plate includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm of the primary plate extend outwardly in opposite directions from the body of the primary plate. The secondary plate also includes a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm of the secondary plate extend outwardly in opposite directions from the body of the secondary plate. The padding layer is inserted between the primary plate and the secondary plate. The padding layer directly contacts a heat-generating electrical component secured between the primary plate and the secondary plate.

    Abstract: A system and method to ensure the proper operation of a power supply unit in an electronic device. The electronic device has a chassis with a length and a width that includes one area having electronic components. A system fan is located in the chassis relative to the electronic components to generate air flow in the direction of the length of the chassis through the electronic components. A power supply unit is located in parallel to the system fan relative to the width of the chassis. The power supply unit includes an AC input, a DC output and an internal fan. A controller is operable to control the system fan to reduce the air flow when the power supply unit turns on AC power to the AC input, or wakes up from a cold redundant state and outputs DC power from the DC output.

    Abstract: A dust-proof telecommunication system is disclosed. The dust-proof telecommunication system includes a chassis, critical components located within the chassis, and a filter module located within the chassis near at least some of the critical components that need to be cooled. For example, the critical components include a central processing unit (CPU), a system on chip (SoC), a memory module, a PCIe card, and/or a chipset. The filter module has a filter cover that surrounds at least in part the critical components, a first air filter located at an inlet of an airflow, and a second air filter located at an outlet. The critical components located at a protective space within the chassis receive and are cooled by the airflow passing through the air filter.

    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: Systems and methods are provided for controlling two or more PSUs of a server system. An exemplary method comprises first determining whether the PSUs are switched on to an AC power source. If the PSUs are found not switched on to an AC power source, the method further comprises restarting the AC power source for the PSUs and completing a software-based recovery process. If the PSUs are found to be switched on to an AC power source, the method further comprises determining whether the PSUs meet a predefined criterion. If the PSUs do meet a predefined criterion, the method further comprises disabling a cold-redundancy mode for the PSUs. If the PSUs do not meet a predefined criterion, the method further comprises starting a wake-up process for a first PSU from a cold-redundancy mode.
