    摘要: A computer system includes a rack-mountable server unit with a closed server housing. The server housing has a channel with a recessed channel wall in conductive thermal communication with a processor or other heat-generating component. An elongate conduit is received into the channel of the server housing in conductive thermal communication with an external surface of the server housing. The server is cooled by conductive fluid flow through the conduit, with no appreciable airflow through the server housing. The system may be operated in an optional burst cooling mode, wherein a volume of cooling fluid is trapped in the conduit for a period of time before being quickly released.

    摘要: A unit of information technology equipment (ITE), such as a compute node or a network switch, comprises a system board in communication with network connectors that selectively connect to a network interconnect, a gravity sensor for detecting a first orientation and a second orientation of the system board, and a basic input/output system (BIOS) in communication with the gravity sensor to receive a signal identifying whether the system board is in the first or second orientation. The ITE further comprises a network ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) that inverts the pinout of transmit and receive signals in the network connectors in response to a command from the BIOS indicating that the system board is in the second orientation. A system may comprise a first ITE in a first orientation that interlocks with a second ITE in a second orientation that is inverted 180 degrees from the first orientation.

    摘要: A component power cable having a pair of elongate conductive members each connected at a first end to a power distribution unit connector and at a second end to a component power supply connector, wherein the cable has sufficient resilience to impart a generally collapsed configuration to the component power cable, with the first end generally proximal to the second end. The component power cable is extendable from the collapsed configuration to an extended configuration by displacement of the first end to a position distal to the second end, wherein energy stored in the resilient cable by such displacement restores the component power cable to the collapsed configuration upon return of the first end to a position proximal the second end. The resilience may be provided by a spring element or by an elastomeric sheath.

    摘要: A computer storage rack has vertically arranged bays for receiving electrical power-consuming components, an elongate electrical power distribution unit (PDU) having power distribution sockets vertically spaced along the length of the PDU, and a hinge pivotally coupling the PDU to the rack along a vertical axis. The PDU pivots about the hinge between a position proximal to the bays and a position distal to the bays. The apparatus further comprises a component power supply cables that are resiliently extendable from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration. Each of the component power supply cables is connected between one of the power distribution sockets and an adjacent one of the electrical power-consuming components, and each is resiliently extendable in response to pivoting the PDU to the distal position and resiliently collapsed in response to pivoting the PDU to the proximal position.

    摘要: Managing a solid state drive (‘SSD’) in a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives (‘RAID’), including: detecting, by a RAID engine, a number of cell failures of the SSD exceeding a predetermined threshold; responsive to detecting the number of cell failures of the SSD exceeding the predetermined threshold: redirecting, by the RAID engine, a write of data not originally stored in the RAID to a drive in the RAID other than the SSD; and redirecting, by the RAID engine, writes originally directed to data stored on the SSD to another drive in the RAID, including unmapping the data stored on the SSD.
