The holder further includes a first blind-mate connector disposed on the L-shaped frame to be coupled to a second blind-mate connector at an engagement interface. The first blind-mate connector and the second blind-mate connector are coupled in response to the L-shaped frame moving to the second position in response to contact with the electronic rack.

Cooling arrangement of data center configured for backup operation, the arrangement including an active cooling system having: fluid cooling systems. The arrangement further including an intake louvers assuming a closed position separating interior space of the data center from the exterior environment during normal mode of operation and an open position enabling free flow of outside air into the interior space during backup operation; exhaust louvers assuming a closed position separating interior space of the data center from the exterior environment and an open position enabling free flow of interior air out to the exterior environment; and controller configured to direct the intake louvers and exhaust louvers to assume the open position when electrical power supply to the active cooling system has been interrupted. The arrangement further includes a fluid system which functions as an open loop in the normal mode and a closed loop in the backup mode.

Systems and methods for cooling a computer environment are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, one or more neural networks can be used to adjust one or more flow control valves, of a liquid cooling system for a data center, to control a variation in liquid flow rate across the data center.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a modular unit is swappable or hot-swappable and has a heat exchanger, a variable speed fan, and at least one flow controller to pass fluid through microchannels of a cold plate, so that the fluid extracts heat from at least one computing device and so that fluid through a heat exchanger enables dissipation of heat by forced air from a variable speed fan.

Techniques for controlling cooling of electronic components in computing facilities are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a pressure drop of a coolant flowing across multiple servers in an enclosure between the inlet and outlet manifolds and a supply temperature of the coolant at the inlet manifold. The method further includes automatically adjust operations of the pump to maintain the calculated pressure drop at or near a pressure-drop setpoint while automatically adjusting operations of the air mover to maintain the supply temperature at or near a temperature setpoint.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a cover to enclose a junction between respective ends of first and second fluidic conduits. The first and second fluidic conduits transport a coolant fluid within an electronic system. The apparatus also includes a leak detection device to be located within a region that is enclosed by the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The leak detection device is to detect a leak of the coolant fluid at the junction when the junction is enclosed by the cover. The first and second fluidic conduits extend outside the cover when the junction is enclosed by the cover. Another apparatus is also described. The other apparatus includes a leak detection device to detect a leak of coolant fluid from a specific component or junction in a liquid cooling system of an electronic system.

When an enclosed space is formed, by at least one of surfaces forming an exterior shape of a shielding member and an intake or exhaust surface among surfaces forming an exterior shape of heat-generating housings, in such a way that a taken-in airflow and an exhausted airflow of the heat-generating housings installed in at least two rows can be separated or substantially separated, a cooling system includes: a duct formed to be able to separate or substantially separate a first airflow and a second airflow being intake/exhaust of a specific heat-generating housing among the heat-generating housings, and heat-generating housings other than the specific heat-generating housing, respectively; and a cooling enhancement unit enhancing cooling for the specific heat-generating housing by acting on the first airflow, thereby avoiding occurrence of a hot spot due to a high-heat-generating housing, in a system building an air-conditioning environment such as aisle capping.

A multiple mode cooling system circulates outside air through a data center to cool heat-generating information technology (IT) component(s). Based on outside and interior air temperature values and outside humidity value, a controller determines that outside air cooling poses a risk of damage to the heat-generating IT component(s) due to condensation or overheating. Controller also determines that compressor(s) of the cooling system have been inactive for less than a minimum off-time specified for maintaining service life of the compressor(s). In response, controller checks a cooling mode setting and, based on determining that a cooling mode setting indicates an optimization preference for avoiding the posed risk of damage to the heat-generating IT component(s) over compressor service life, the controller restarts the compressor(s) before expiration of the minimum off-time.

Systems and methods for cooling a datacenter are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, an alternate cooling loop with its own fluid source and a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger is used to provide cooling for the at least one computing component alternatively from a secondary cooling loop that is associated with a primary cooling loop and a chilling facility.
