A backplane management and configuration system includes a chassis housing a first storage system having a first backplane, a second storage system having a second backplane, a second computing device coupled to each of the first backplane and the second backplane via a second multiplexer and a communication bus, and a first computing device coupled to each of the first backplane and the second backplane via a first multiplexer and the communication bus. A backplane configuration/management subsystem in the first computing device detects a multi-computing-device configuration including the first and second computing devices in the chassis and, in response, determines a first computing device location in the chassis. Based on the first computing device location, the backplane configuration/management subsystem identifies a first backplane identifier for the first backplane and, in response, configures the first backplane for management by the backplane configuration/management subsystem and ignores the second backplane.

Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexboxes, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed at a lower cost at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead routed to the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably shared a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions.

A configurable data center platform includes an enclosure configured to affix to a support structure, the enclosure configured for housing one or more processing systems that form a data center, one or more transceivers configured to enable the one or more processing systems to communicate with one or more remote devices, one or more sensors; and an electrical power distribution subsystem configured to condition a received electrical current to one or more conditioned electrical currents that power the one or more processing systems and the one or more sensors, wherein the enclosure comprises a cooling system that removes heat from the one or more processing systems and the one or more sensors.

Example implementations relate to a power control system for controlling transmission of power from one or more power supply devices to one or more loads of a modular server enclosure. The power control system includes an electronic fuse and a threshold control unit. The electronic fuse is connected between one or more loads and the one or more power supply devices of the modular server enclosure. The threshold control unit is connected to the electronic fuse and to the one or more power supply devices. The threshold control circuit dynamically adjusts a threshold current for the electronic fuse based on a power supply capacity of the one or more power supply devices. The electronic fuse controls the transmission of the power from the one or more power supply devices to the one or more loads based on threshold current and a load current drawn by the one or more loads.

A transport support structure comprises a platform, a first frame side on the platform, a second frame side on the platform and a third frame side on the platform. The second frame side is disposed opposite and spaced apart from the first frame side, and the third frame side extends between the first and second frame sides. The transport support structure further comprises first and second support receiving members disposed under the platform. The first support receiving member includes a first opening configured to receive a first lifting device support element, and the second support receiving member includes a second opening configured to receive a second lifting device support element.

A data center rack system includes a rack housing that includes side panels and a top panel coupled to the side panels, the top and side panels defining a rack volume sized to enclose a plurality of data center server rack trays, each of the data center server rack trays configured to support a plurality of heat generating electronic devices; and a rack bottom coupled to the side panels to at least partially define the rack volume, the rack bottom including a bottom panel having a top surface coupled to the side panels and a plurality of blocks coupled to a bottom surface of the bottom panel opposite the top surface, at least one pair of the plurality of blocks defining an opening between the blocks and below the bottom surface of the bottom panel and sized to receive a lifting member of a lifting machine.

A system may include a chassis comprising a plurality of bays, each of the plurality of bays configured to receive a respective modular information handling system, a shared infrastructure comprising a plurality of components which are shared by modular information handling systems received in the plurality of bays, and a chassis management controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of bays and configured to determine a power consumption for each respective modular information handling system and if the power consumption for a respective modular information handling system exceeds a maximum sled connector current limit for the respective modular information handling system, communicate a message to the respective modular information handling system to power down the respective modular information handling system.

An information handling system may include a processor and a flag assembly comprising a flag and an actuator mechanically coupled to the flag and communicatively coupled to the processor, and configured to receive control signals from the processor to mechanically translate the flag between an activated position in which the flag is visually perceptible to a user external to the information handling system and a deactivated position in which the flag is visually imperceptible to the user.

Software-defined fail-safe power draw control is provided for rack power distribution units (PDUs). A PDU power manager can be used to map devices to a PDU and its sockets. The PDU power manager can also identify the power rating of the PDU and its sockets. With this information, the PDU power manager can generate and apply priority-based and dynamic power caps to the devices connected to the PDU. In this way, the PDU power manager can ensure that the power ratings of the PDU and of each of its sockets are not exceeded while ensuring that power delivery is prioritized based on the workloads that the devices may experience.

A mobile, extendable, self-contained, integrated assessment, management, and transaction facility that is completely equipped to assess, manage, and trade capital from almost anywhere in the world, in an example embodiment housed in a cabinet carried in a vehicle bed, in a trailer, heavy duty cart, or other mobile infrastructure that enables the facility to be mobile or portable. A mobile, extendable, self-contained capital assessment, management, and transaction facility and method of use of same to develop, manage, and use capital generally consists of a self-contained, integrated facility; mobile operation; and a method flow for capital that enables the inventory, procurement, assessment, valuation, monitoring, trading, leveraging, tracking and tracing, and other activities or tasks on or associated with different forms, or types, of tangible and intangible capital.
