A server node connection system uses two or more proximity sensors per server node to determine progressive, real time changes in wipe length for each individual connector on the node that is connected to an opposing header connector on header connected to a midplane of the server assembly/rack. The system is capable of scanning, monitoring, trending, and alarming.

Methods and devices for minimizing and maximizing displayed output associated with applications are provided. More particularly, an application presented across two or more screens of a device in a landscape mode can be minimized to present portion of the application in one of the screens. With respect to a maximization operation received with respect to a page of an application results in the expansion of the displayed portion of the application to multiple screens of the device. Input to effect minimization and maximization operations can be entered in one or more gesture capture regions associated with the screens.

Methods and devices for selecting a card from an application stack, wherein the card represents a corresponding application that a user would like to make active or bring focus to. The selecting includes one or more of a dragging and a tapping action, with these actions being triggers for transitioning the device to an optional drag state or tapped state, respectively. Transitioning through this state executes the activating of a corresponding application or other action on the device to facilitate window/application/desktop management. The selecting further allows a user to specify which a touch screen (or portion hereof) on which a particular application should be launched.

Cable backplane systems and communication devices are provided according to examples of the present disclosure. In one aspect, a cable backplane system includes a frame and a cable unit; the cable unit includes a first connector array, a second connector array and communication cables; the first connector array is fixed on the frame, wherein a first connector in the first connector array is connected with a first plug-in card, first connectors in a same row are connected with a same first plug-in card; the second connector array is fixed on the frame, wherein a second connector in the second connector array is connected with a second plug-in card, second connectors in a same column are connected with a same second plug-in card; and the communication cables is connected with the first connector array and the second connector array.

Embodiments are directed to an assembly including a bay structure including a bay structure that defines a bay for receiving a pluggable module and including sides and a front plate rotatably connected to the sides, a connecting bracket coupled with the bay structure, and a heat transfer device coupled with the bay structure. The bay structure, the heat transfer device, and the connecting bracket are configured such that rotating the front plate from a first position to a second position displaces the connecting bracket in a first direction which causes the connecting bracket to displace the heat transfer device in a second direction transverse to the first direction.

Technologies for providing shared memory for accelerator sleds includes an accelerator sled to receive, with a memory controller, a memory access request from an accelerator device to access a region of memory. The request is to identify the region of memory with a logical address. Additionally, the accelerator sled is to determine from a map of logical addresses and associated physical address, the physical address associated with the region of memory. In addition, the accelerator sled is to route the memory access request to a memory device associated with the determined physical address.

A server node connection system uses two or more proximity sensors per server node to determine progressive, real time changes in wipe length for each individual connector on the node that is connected to an opposing header connector on header connected to a midplane of the server assembly/rack. The system is capable of scanning, monitoring, trending, and alarming.

Technologies for dynamically managing the reliability of disaggregated resources in a managed node include a resource manager server. The resource manager server includes communication circuit to receive resource data from a set of disaggregated resources that indicates reliability of each disaggregated resource of the set of disaggregated resources and a node request to compose a managed node. The resource manager server further includes a compute engine to determine node parameters from the node request indicative of a target reliability of one or more disaggregated resources of the set of disaggregated resources to be included in the managed node, compose a managed node from the set of disaggregated resources that satisfies the node parameters by configuring the compute sled to utilize the disaggregated resources of the managed node for the execution of a workload, and monitor the disaggregated resources of the managed node for a failure.

A data connector to interface with a sled of a data center includes a main body, a plurality of guide shafts, and a cover. The main body includes electrical contacts. The guide shafts are associated with the main body, and each guide shaft extends along a corresponding longitudinal axis. The cover is coupled to the guide shafts such that the cover is slidable along the guide shafts in a direction defined by the longitudinal axes. The cover includes a movable door to provide protection to the electrical contacts of the main body when not in use.

A data storage system with a parallel array of dense memory cards and high airflow is described. In one example, a rack-mount enclosure has a horizontal plane board with memory connectors and external interfaces. Memory cards each have a connector to connect to a respective memory connector of the horizontal plane board, each memory card extending parallel to each other memory card from the front of the enclosure and extending orthogonally from the first side of the horizontal plane board. A power supply proximate the rear of the enclosure and the first side of the horizontal plane board provides power to the memory cards through the memory card connectors and has a fan to pull air from the front of the enclosure between the memory cards and to push air out the rear of the enclosure.
