Handheld part and protruding part are respectively connected to two opposite sides of pivot part, and pivot part is pivotally connected to cage part. Protruding part has first side surface located on a side of protruding part that is located away from pivot part. An axis of pivot part is spaced apart from first side surface by first distance along first direction. Pivot part is spaced apart from first side surface by second distance along second direction. First direction is different from the second direction, and first distance is different from second distance.
BLIND-MATE CONNECTION DESIGN FOR LIQUID-COOLED ELECTRONIC RACKS
A holder for connecting a rack manifold of an electronic rack and a room manifold of a data center room to provide liquid cooling to the electronic rack includes an L-shaped frame with a first arm having a first end and a second end, and a second arm extending from the second end of the first arm and substantially perpendicular to the first arm. The holder additionally includes a pivot point to be coupled to a pivot connector on a panel to pivotally move the L-shaped frame between a first position and a second position. The holder further includes a first blind-mate connector disposed on the L-shaped frame to be coupled to a second blind-mate connector at an engagement interface. The first blind-mate connector and the second blind-mate connector are coupled in response to the L-shaped frame moving to the second position in response to contact with the electronic rack.

SYSTEMS WITH INDIUM APPLICATION TO HEAT TRANSFER SURFACES
Systems with indium application to heat transfer surfaces and related methods are described. A system includes a chassis, arranged inside a housing, having at least one slot for receiving a blade. The blade, arranged in a slot of the chassis, includes a first circuit board having a plurality of components mounted on a substrate. The blade further includes a first heat spreader comprising a metal. The first heat spreader including metal is arranged to transfer heat from the first circuit board to a cooling system via a first interface between a first surface of the first heat spreader and a second surface of the chassis, and where indium is permanently bonded to either the first surface of the first heat spreader, or the second surface of the chassis, or both the first surface of the first heat spreader and the second surface of the chassis.
VERTICAL EXHAUST DUCT FOR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ENCLOSURE
An electronic equipment enclosure includes a frame structure at least partially enclosed by a plurality of panels defining a compartment in which one or more electronic components are mounted and an exhaust air duct that is adapted to segregate hot air being exhausted from the compartment from cool air entering the compartment, thereby improving thermal management of the enclosure. The exhaust duct includes a lower duct section extending upward from the top panel of the compartment and an upper duct section telescoping upward from an upper end of the lower duct section. Each duct section includes four panels connected together by hinged corner fittings such that the section is collapsible. The upper duct section includes an outwardly flared portion.
Locking structure and server cabinet with same
A space-saving locking structure without sharp edges for a server cabinet can lock a first housing to a second housing and includes first and second locking members. The first locking member includes a locking portion with a tail portion, the second locking member includes a blocking portion. The blocking portion has a rounded surface such that when the first housing is pressed along a first direction, the first housing approaches and closes with the second housing, the tail portion being set against a top of the blocking portion. When the first housing is further pushed in a second direction, the tail portion slides along the rounded surface of the blocking portion until the tail portion abuts against the blocking portion to lock the first housing to the second housing.
