The present invention relates to an assembly (10) for attaching a data storage device (12) to an on-board computer including an encapsulation structure (17), and a receiving structure (18) for receiving the encapsulation structure (17) comprising a first connector complementary to a connector of the storage device and a second connector complementary to a connector of the onboard computer.

The encapsulation structure (17) and the storage device (12) mounted therein are movable relative to the receiving structure (18) between an inserted configuration in which the encapsulation structure (17) and the storage device (12) are inserted into the receiving structure (18) and the connector of the storage device (12) is connected to the first connector, and a removed configuration in which the encapsulation structure (17) and the storage device (12) are removed from the receiving structure (18).

A host casing of an electronic device includes a housing, a filler panel, and a disassembly and assembly structure. A front side of the housing has an opening. The dummy cover is disposed in the opening of the housing. The disassembly and assembly structure is disposed inside the housing. In a first state, the disassembly and assembly structure buckles with the dummy cover, thereby fixing the dummy cover. In a second state, the disassembly and assembly structure releases the dummy cover, and simultaneously pushes the dummy cover out of the opening. Therefore, the replacement action between the dummy cover and a pluggable device can be effectively simplified, so that maintenance personnel can easily assemble or disassemble the dummy cover without the assistance of additional tools.

A modular data center includes a fan creating a first cooling wind from outside air, an air conditioner creating a second cooling wind having a temperature lower than that of the outside air, racks housing electronic devices that take in the first and the second cooling wind, and a control unit adjusting an air volume of the first cooling wind by controlling the fan, and so as to cool the electronic device to a specified temperature. The control unit executes stopping the air conditioner when a first assumed value of a sum of air-conditioning power of the air conditioner and the fan is smaller than a current value of the air-conditioning power, and operating the air conditioner when a second assumed value of the sum of air-conditioning power of the air conditioner and the fan is smaller than the current value of the air-conditioning power.

A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.

A cable connection system and a method of using the cable connection system. The cable connection system includes a base and a tube enveloping electrical cabling. The cabling is electrically connected to base connectors of the base. The base is configured to be physically and electrically connected to a rack. The base is at a fixed distance from the tube and is rotated around a center axis of the tube by a first angle within an angular range encompassing from more than zero degrees to less than 360 degrees.

Various computing devices, thermal solutions and enclosures are disclosed. In one aspect, a computing device enclosure is provided that includes a first compartment that has a first upper side and is adapted to house the computing device and a liquid cooling device. The computing device has at least one heat generating component operable to transfer heat to the liquid cooling device. A second compartment has a lower side that includes an air inlet and a second upper side that has an air outlet. The second compartment is adapted to house a head exchanger to remove hear transferred to the liquid cooling device. A hub connects the first second compartment to the first compartment in spaced apart relation so as to leave a gap between the first upper side and the lower side.

A data center cabinet has an equipment rail movably secured to front-to-back beams by a retaining mechanism. The retaining mechanism has a threaded member extending through a front-to-back beam and the equipment rail and a handle rotatable relative to the threaded member. A first cam disk is positioned between the handle and equipment rail and is fixed to the equipment rail and a second cam disk is positioned between the handle and first cam disk and is fixed to the handle. First and second surfaces of the first and second cam disks are engaged with the handle in a first position to provide a clamping force between the equipment rail and front-to-back beam to prevent movement of the equipment rail and the first and second cam surfaces are disengaged with the handle in a second position to remove the clamping force to allow movement of the equipment rail.

Disclosed are systems and methods for providing a blanking panel. One embodiment includes a blanking panel for an information technology (IT) rack. The IT rack may have a width for receiving hardware into a rack space unit. The IT rack may have a plurality of vertical mounting beams that define the width. The blanking panel may include a cover that is sized and shaped to cover a front portion of the rack space unit on the IT rack and a plurality of rack connectors that connect the blanking panel to the plurality of vertical mounting beams. In some embodiments, the blanking panel includes a rotating pin, where at least one of the plurality of rack connectors is rotatably connected to permit rotation of the rotating pin around a second axis and where the rotating pin includes a pivot joint, to permit the rotating pin to rotate around a first axis.

A base member of the sensor includes a first projection part, a second projection part, and a third projection part, being columnar and projecting from a first placement surface. Tip ends of the first, second and third projection parts are formed on second placement surfaces. The first and second projection parts respectively include a fourth pin and a fifth pin inserted through a second rigid substrate and projecting from the second placement surface. Three ribs are formed on a peripheral surface of the fourth pin and disposed so that positions viewed from a center of the fourth pin respectively form angles less than 180 degrees. Two ribs are formed on a peripheral surface of the fifth pin, and project along a fourth line perpendicular to a third line connecting the fourth pin and the fifth pin.
