An information handling resource blank configured to populate a slot of an information handling system in lieu of an information handling resource may include a form factor having at least some features in common with that of the information handling resource and one or more false fans mechanically coupled to the form factor. Each of the one or more false fans may be configured to have a first airflow impedance when airflow through such false fan is below a threshold airflow and have a second airflow impedance when airflow through such false fan is above the threshold airflow.

A fan cage is at least adapted to a first fan and a second fan smaller than the first fan. The fan cage includes a cage body and an adjustment member. The cage body defines a first accommodation portion in a size fitting the first fan. The adjustment member is movably disposed on the cage body and switchable between a laid down status and an upright status within the first accommodation portion. When the adjustment member is in the upright status, the adjustment member is upright in the first accommodation portion so that the adjustment member and the cage body together define part of the first accommodation portion as a second accommodation portion in a size fitting the second fan.

A method includes measuring a plurality of temperatures corresponding to a plurality of servers located in a data center, determining a subset of the plurality of servers as high-temperature servers based on the plurality of temperatures, and reassigning tasks from at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of servers to one or more other servers of the plurality of servers.

The present disclosure relates to heat dissipation apparatus. One example heat dissipation apparatus includes a heat dissipation assembly and a bracket assembly, where the heat dissipation assembly is configured to dissipate heat for a server chip and includes a substrate and a heat sink, the heat dissipation assembly is connected to the bracket assembly, the bracket assembly includes a bracket and a plurality of first elastic structural members that are disposed on the bracket, each first elastic structural member includes a supporting portion and a connection portion, and at least one hook is disposed on the connection portion.

This disclosure describes systems for arranging racks within a data center for a smaller and/or more flexible footprint, more efficient and/or resilient cooling, and/or easier installation. In some examples, this disclosure describes a data center rack system that includes an aisle and a plurality of rack stations adjacent to the aisle. The aisle includes an aisle guidance track defining an aisle axis. Each rack station of the plurality of rack stations includes a station guidance track defining a station axis. The station guidance track is configured to receive a rack from the aisle guidance track and position the rack in the respective rack station at a rack angle formed between the aisle axis and the station axis that is less than 90 degrees.

A system for determining and displaying air temperature, pressure, or velocity in an information technology (IT) room including an IT equipment rack. The system comprises a processor configured to receive a model of a layout of equipment within an IT room, define a primary computational grid including base grid cells with dimensions having a first ratio, define a set of computational grid origin offsets for the model, determine a hybrid computational grid having base grid cells, an origin offset selected from among the set of computational grid origin offsets, and a variable grid for the model associated with the computational grid origin offset having a lowest penalty score, perform a computational fluid dynamics analysis of the model utilizing the hybrid computational grid, and provide a display in a graphical user interface illustrating one or more of air temperatures, air pressures, or airflow velocities within the IT room.

A system includes one or more power distribution blocks configured to provide power to multiple computing devices in a data center. The system also includes a redundancy power distribution block configured to provide redundant power to the computing devices in the data center. The system further includes multiple mechanical cooling electrical distribution blocks electrically coupled to the redundancy power distribution block, each mechanical cooling electrical distribution block configured to provide mechanical cooling to the computing devices in the data center. In response to detection of a power failure in at least one of the mechanical cooling electrical distribution blocks, the redundancy power distribution block is further configured to provide electrical power to the at least one mechanical cooling electrical distribution block exhibiting the power failure.

Apparatuses, sytstems, and methods to adjust flow areas. In at least one embodiment, one or more flow control devices adjust a flow area of a server component inlet or the server component outlet based, at least in part, on at least one of sensor data or server component operating conditions.

A frame assembly for holding cooling fans without the use of screws or rivets includes a bottom plate, a frame on the bottom plate, a slider on the frame, a position pin, and a sliding pin. The frame comprises first and second plates, the first plate defining first and second slots extending in different directions. An end of the sliding pin is connected to the slider, other end of the sliding pin is movable within the second slot, and the slider defines a third slot. The orientation of the second slot is such that pushing the assembly against a spring releases the clamping action of the first and second plates on the assembled fans, and releasing the first and second plates allows the fans in the assembly to be reclamped.
