摘要： An automated method and system are provided for facilitating monitoring of energy usage within a data center. The method includes automatically determining energy usage of one or more electronics racks of a data center by automatically ascertaining time-based energy usage of the electronics racks. The automatically ascertaining includes obtaining multiple measurements of instantaneous energy usage by each of the electronics racks in the data center over a period of time, and then separately averaging the multiple measurements for each electronics rack to obtain the time-based energy usage of each electronics racks. The method also includes outputting the time-based energy usage of the electronic(s) racks to facilitate monitoring of the data center.

摘要： An apparatus is provided for facilitating servicing of an electronics rack. The apparatus includes a light source, which includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes. The plurality of light-emitting diodes are secured to the electronics rack or a floor tile disposed adjacent to the electronics rack, and are configured to illuminate at least a lower portion of the electronics rack at either the air inlet or air outlet side of the rack. A power supply is also provided for selectively supplying power to the plurality of light-emitting diodes. In one implementation, the light source includes an elongate light bar, which is configured to mount to either the inlet door or outlet door of the electronics rack, and the plurality of light-emitting diodes are secured to an elongate housing structure which pivotally couples to a base plate for adjustment of a direction of illumination by the light-emitting diodes.

摘要： An apparatus is provided for facilitating cooling of an electronics rack of a data center. The apparatus includes: an airflow director mounted to the electronics rack to redirect airflow exhausting from the electronics rack through an airflow return pathway back towards an air inlet side of the rack; an air-to-liquid heat exchanger disposed within the airflow return pathway for cooling redirected airflow before exiting into the data center near the air inlet side of the rack; an air temperature sensor for monitoring air temperature of the redirected airflow; and an automated isolation door associated with the airflow director for automatically blocking airflow exhausting from the air outlet side of the electronics rack from passing through the airflow return pathway back towards the air inlet side of the rack responsive to temperature of the redirected airflow exceeding a defined temperature threshold.
