There may be a large air duct, in the form of a personnel corridor (123), for transporting, under the control of the one or more air circulation systems, cooling air, above the floor, to the one or more cold aisles. The air supply corridor/duct (123) may have a height greater than 1.5 m above the floor and a cross-sectional area of at least 2 m.sup.2 and a maximum dimension in the plane of the cross-section of less than 3 m.

A charging cabinet is disclosed having a frame, a center vertical member, wherein the center vertical member includes a lock plate, a plurality of stock chargers, an exhaust system, configured to vent heat from the charging cabinet to cool the at least one battery, a heater, configured to warm the at least one battery, a pair of duplex receptacles, a pass-thru connector recess box, wherein the pass-thru connector recess box is angled downward, a pass-thru connector mount box, wherein the pass-thru connector mount box is angled upward, an inlet connector recess box, wherein the inlet connector recess box is angled downward, and an inlet connector mount box, wherein the inlet connector mount box is angled upward.

A secure electronic equipment rack allows electronic equipment to be hung vertically to save space for deep components. This is done by providing a vertical rack apparatus with horizontal side panels on which components are mounted vertically. The side panels of the rack are shorter than the depth of the components to be mounted on, to, or within the panels, thus allowing space to be saved. The rack can be expanded based on user's equipment growth. The apparatus can be mounted on a wall or on a standard EIA relay rack. The apparatus has cable management for equipment that fits into wire channels and allows having a patch panel mounted without taking up a U space in the apparatus itself. The apparatus can include a built-in level for ease of mounting, and an integrated earth grounding stud. A secure version can include tamper resistance by adding baffling of ventilation areas, for example in both top and bottom vent patterns, and can be designed to be assembled in an overlapping fashion which allows no exposed hardware with the last piece to be assembled being the first to be removed in sequence.

A configurable housing includes a top surface having a closed configuration and an opened configuration in which a first plurality of perforations provide a first air flow path. The housing further includes a plurality of sidewalls connected to the top surface. The plurality of sidewalls including a first sidewall having a closed configuration and an opened configuration in which a second plurality of perforations provide a second air flow path. The housing also includes a bottom surface connected to the plurality of sidewalls.

A casing including a first body and a locking plate is provided, the locking plate is installed to the first body, and the locking plate extends inward to form a frame, so as to lock the casing to a main chassis of a desktop computer. Compared with the existing technique, the casing is directly locked to the main chassis of the desktop computer from exterior to interior through the locking plate, i.e. the casing is adapted to install the redundant power supply without changing an internal configuration of the main chassis or changing an outline dimension of the main chassis or the casing. Moreover, in terms of material purchase, it is unnecessary to purchase casings of other dimensions, but only one type of casings are used to produce general power supplies and redundant power supplies, so as to effectively save the manufacturing cost. Moreover, a redundant power supply is provided.

An information handling system (IHS) includes a node enclosure containing one or more heat-generating functional components. A cold plate is attached to an inner surface of the node enclosure. The cold plate presents a conduction surface to a selected at least one of the one or more heat-generating functional components. A spring is positioned between the inner surface of the node enclosure and the cold plate. The spring positions the conduction surface into conductive proximity with the selected at least one of the one or more heat-generating functional components.

A data center system can include a mobile support structure; one or more enclosures for removable electronic equipment where the enclosures are housed by the support structure; a cooling system in fluid communication with the enclosures for cooling of the electronic equipment where the cooling system is housed by the support structure; and a power system operably connected to the electronic equipment and the cooling system for supplying power thereto where the power system comprises a generator housed by the support system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Cooling systems for devices arranged in rows are disclosed. An example cooling system includes an inflatable air duct to be positioned above a cold aisle defined between two rows of electronic equipment. The inflatable air duct is to be air permeable to deliver conditioned air into the cold aisle. The electronic equipment has fans to force cool air within the cold aisle through the electronic equipment to adjacent hot aisles on opposite sides of the two rows of the electronic equipment. The inflatable air duct to be spaced apart from the rows of computers such that the cold aisle is in unobstructed fluid communication with the adjacent hot aisles over top of the rows of electronic equipment. The conditioned air delivered from the inflatable air duct to substantially prevent a mixing of warm air in the hot aisles with the cool air in the cold aisle.
