Self-contained server assemblies for housing servers or server blades and associated computing facilities are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a server assembly includes an enclosure having an interior space housing a server blade, a dielectric coolant submerging heat producing components of the server blade, and a condenser assembly having a condenser coil in fluid communication with a vapor gap in the interior space. The condenser coil is configured to receive a coolant that removes heat from a vapor of the dielectric coolant in the vapor gap, thereby condensing the vapor into a liquid form to be returned to the server blade.

The cooling system for a data center includes an information technology (IT) container, secondary condensing system, and a coolant distribution unit. In particular, an IT container includes a liquid region to store cooling liquid, a vapor region to receive vapor evaporated from the cooling liquid, and a primary condenser disposed within the vapor region to condense the vapor. For example, the external cooling air or cooling liquid is controlled to be delivered to condensers. Further, a secondary condenser is coupled to the IT container via a vapor line to receive at least a portion of the vapor from the vapor region of the IT container and to condense the portion of the vapor. Furthermore, a coolant distribution unit is coupled to the IT container and the secondary condenser to store and to distribute the cooling liquid to the IT container.

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.

The present disclosure provides a motherboard protection circuit and a server. The motherboard protection circuit includes a baseboard management controller (BMC), a first connector and a first conversion circuit. The first connector outputs a first rotational speed signal when a fan is electrically connected to the first connector. The first conversion circuit is electrically connected between the BMC and the first connector, the first conversion circuit converts a first voltage of the first rotational speed signal into a second voltage and output a converted first rotational speed signal to the BMC. The BMC monitors a rotational speed of the fan according to the converted first rotational speed signal. The first conversion circuit maintains the voltage of the rotational speed signal to an ideal voltage, and outputs the rotational speed signal to the BMC, so that the BMC can normally receive the rotational speed signal.

A system for maintaining the operation of a cooling fan for a server if that function of a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server should fail includes the BMC and a control module. The control module is electrically connected to the BMC and the fan, and the control module receives a first signal outputted by the BMC in a cycle and determines the state of the BMC depending on whether the first signal includes a change in level or fails to include a change in level. When an abnormal state of the BMC is determined, the control module outputs a preset pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the fan to maintain operation of the fan. The present disclosure also provides a fan control method.
