The invention relates to a structure (1) for housing electronic apparatuses (10) such as boards (11) and the like, wherein the apparatuses are arranged in a container with a drawer (40) insertable and extractable with respect to a frame (20) of the structure (1). On the back wall of the drawer (40) and on the frame (20) connectors (53, 54) are provided which are coupled directly and automatically when the drawer is inserted.

A mounting device includes a mounting box, a tray, and a sliding mechanism. The mounting box includes a bottom plate. The sliding mechanism includes a handle and at least one driving member. The driving member is movably coupled to the handle. In a pull configuration of the sliding mechanism, when the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the driving member is driven to drive the tray to move along a first direction, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move. In a push configuration of the sliding mechanism, when the handle is rotated toward the bottom plate, the tray is not driven to move, and when the handle is rotated away from the bottom plate, the driving member is driven to drive the tray to move toward a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Technologies for allocating ephemeral data storage among managed nodes include an orchestrator server to receive ephemeral data storage availability information from the managed nodes, receive a request from a first managed node of the managed nodes to allocate an amount of ephemeral data storage as the first managed node executes one or more workloads, determine, as a function of the ephemeral data storage availability information, an availability of the requested amount of ephemeral data storage, and allocate, in response to a determination that the requested amount of ephemeral data storage is available from one or more other managed nodes, the requested amount of ephemeral data storage to the first managed node as the first managed node executes the one or more workloads. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

An electronic device includes: a casing; and an electronic circuit board housed within the casing. The electronic device further includes a protector which is provided on a surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing. The height of the protector is larger than the height of an electronic component mounted on the surface of the electronic circuit board that faces the casing. In a state that the electronic circuit board is housed within the casing, the protector abuts on a surface of the casing that faces the electronic circuit board.

Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to receive a packet via an optical fabric, the packet comprising a switch mode indicator, determine a switch mode for the packet based on the switch mode indicator, and process the packet in accordance with a first protocol or a second protocol based on the switch mode.

Examples may include sleds for a rack in a data center including physical accelerator resources and memory for the accelerator resources. The memory can be shared between the accelerator resources. One or more memory controllers can be provided to couple the accelerator resources to the memory to provide memory access to all the accelerator resources. Each accelerator resource can include a memory controller to access a portion of the memory while the accelerator resources can be coupled via an out-of-band channel to provide memory access to the other portions of the memory.

A substrate magazine for a substrate insertion system, having a frame in which several drawers for receiving in each case at least one flat substrate are arranged one above the other. Each drawer is formed by two guide rails, arranged in parallel and at a distance from one another at the same height as that of the frame, each with a sliding surface on which a substrate lying on the edge can be displaced. At least one elastically displaceable latching element is assigned to each drawer. In a first, unloaded state, the at least one latching element extends at least partially over the sliding surface of one of the guide rails of the drawer and, in a second, elastically deformed state, releases the sliding surface.

Examples may include techniques to determine locations of a physical resource in a data center. A data center can include a number of racks having sled spaced. The sled spaces accommodate sleds having one or more physical resources disposed on each sled. The racks and sleds can include a beacon and beacon sensor, respectively, operable to determine a location of the sleds within the data center. Beacons and beacon sensors can exchange signals, a pod controller can receive an information element including indications of the exchanged signals and determine a location of the physical resource within the data center.

Technologies for rack cooling includes monitoring a temperature of a sled mounted in a rack and controlling a cooling system of the rack based on the temperature of the sled. The cooling system includes a cooling fan array, which may be controlled to cool the sled. Additionally, if needed, one or more adjacent cooling fan arrays that are located adjacent to the controlled cooling fan array may be adjusted to provide additional cooling to the sled.

A cold-air bypass apparatus may include (1) a mount configured to couple the cold-air bypass apparatus to a drive-plane board housed within a storage-system chassis and (2) a baffle configured to direct a portion of an airflow through an opening in the drive-plane board from below the drive-plane board to above the drive-plane board. The drive-plane board may include (1) a front drive section that includes storage-drive connectors coupled to the drive-plane board, (2) a rear drive section that includes additional storage-drive connectors coupled to the drive-plane board, and (3) the opening located between the front drive section and the rear drive section that allows air to flow from below the drive-plane board to above the drive-plane board. Various other apparatus, systems, and methods for directing air in a storage-system chassis are also disclosed.
