20230063710 · 2023-03-02 ·

A leak detection system fora server rack can include a detection channel that has a top region and a bottom region. The detection channel includes one or more openings at the top region. Each opening is to receive an outlet port of a server chassis installed in the IT rack. A cover for each of the one or more openings is arranged over the one or more openings when the outlet port is not present in the one or more openings and moves to allow entrance of the outlet port when the outlet port is inserted into the one or more openings. A fluid sensor for each of the one or more openings is arranged within the detection channel to detect a fluid that is deposited from the outlet port. Each fluid sensor is positioned within the detection channel to optimally detect presence of the fluid.

An observed operational state can include an operational state of one or more system devices. A sensor can emit, in response to a detected observable condition reflective of a given operational state, a simulated signal reflective of a different operational state as a proxy for the detected condition. A controller receiving such a proxy signal can, at least partially responsively to the proxy signal, issue a command corresponding to the given operational state. For example, a leak detector can emit in response to a detected leak, or a flow-rate sensor can emit in response to a detected flow-rate of a liquid, a simulated fan-speed tachometer signal representative of a selected fan speed. At least partially in response to observing a simulated tachometer signal, a controller can issue a system command corresponding to an underlying system condition for which the simulated tachometer signal is a proxy.
