A lock mechanism within a slot of a computer chassis is disclosed. The lock mechanism includes a gear wheel, a gear rack body, a push rod latch, a push rod body, and a chassis latch. The gear wheel, the gear rack body, the push rod latch, the push rod body, and the chassis latch cooperate to restrict a flap in the slot from opening when the flap is in the closed position, and the chassis latch is engaged with a cutout on the push rod body.

A system for performing computing operations includes a rack, one or more shelves coupled to the rack, and two or more computing modules. Each computing module may include a chassis, one or more circuit board assemblies in a primarily vertical orientation, and one or more hard disk drives in a primarily vertical orientation. The circuit board assemblies and the hard disk drives are coupled to the chassis of the computing module.

A cover apparatus for controlling airflow in a computing system. The cover apparatus includes a cover bracket configured to attach to the computing system in alignment with an opening of a module within the computing system. The cover bracket defines an aperture through which one or more components can be inserted into and removed from the module. The cover apparatus includes a cover door attached to the cover bracket and configured to rotate relative to the cover bracket between an open position and a closed position. The cover door closes the first aperture of the cover bracket with the cover door in the closed position. The cover apparatus includes a catch configured to apply a force to the cover door in the closed position. The force is sufficient to maintain the cover door in the closed position but allows a user to manually open the cover door for accessing the module.

A cooling system configured to remove heat from a chimney of a server cabinet. The system includes a first heat exchanger unit in the chimney of the server cabinet. The first heat exchanger has a fluid inlet for receiving a working fluid and a fluid outlet for discharging the working fluid. The first heat exchanger also has an upstream surface receiving waste heat generated by one or more servers and a downstream surface that discharges air cooled by the first heat exchanger. The upstream surface is generally perpendicular to the downstream surface.

The present invention discloses a thermally insulated, rigid cabinet, which comprises a top cover, four tri-layer side walls and a tri-layer base. The top cover, the four tri-layer side walls and the tri-layer base are connected with and fixed to one another by aluminum extrusion fixing assemblies. The tri-layer structure includes an inner honeycomb panel, a middle strengthening assembly and an outer wall panel. The middle strengthening assembly is formed by a plurality of horizontal tension rods and a plurality of vertical tension rods intersecting. The inner honeycomb panel has a hexagonal-celled hollow geometric structure, which confers the panel with such properties as high pressure-endurable strength, light weight, excellent rigidity and high structural stability. In addition, the hexagonal hollow cells can also make the honeycomb panel capable of better thermal insulation by preventing the air flow.

A cargo rack is usable to store electronic devices, such as servers, while the electronic devices operate. The cargo rack has a telescoping enclosure with one or two doors for selectively closing either or both ends of the enclosure. The cargo rack also includes an onboard electronic system. The electronic system includes a programmable controller and an access control system for selectively locking or unlocking the door or doors of the enclosure. The access control system includes a security interface at which access credentials may be presented from outside the enclosure for recognition by electronics within the enclosure.

An adapter plate and a fastening system for fastening a manifold to a rack in a datacenter is disclosed. The adapter plate is associated with the manifold and has holes to receive buttons in configurable positions. The configurable positions enable the buttons to mate with keyholes of a bracket of the rack in order to fasten the manifold to the bracket.

A system for storing data includes a discrete cooling module that can enable discrete cooling of mass storage devices installed in the chassis interior of a data storage module coupled to a rack. The discrete cooling module includes an air moving device and an air cover. The air moving device can induce and airflow through the chassis interior of the data storage module to remove heat from heat producing components of mass storage devices installed in the chassis interior. The air cover directs the airflow through the chassis interior. The discrete cooling module can isolate rotational vibrations generated by the air moving device from the mass storage devices installed in the chassis. Partial isolation can include indirectly coupling the discrete cooling module to the chassis via directly coupling with the rack.

A stabilizing fixture to hold and stabilize a server contained within different sizes of server cabinets includes a base, a pressing component and an adjusting component. The pressing component is slidably coupled with the base in a first direction. A first pressing surface is defined on the pressing component for pressing a server. The adjusting component includes a screw and a nut. When the screw is rotated relative to the nut, the nut is driven to move in a second direction, and the nut acts on the pressing component to drive the pressing component in the first direction to press the server. As the pressing component moves along the first direction, the distance between the two pressing component changes to accommodate servers of different sizes.

A removable transport caster assembly secured to side to side beams or front to back beams in a data center cabinet in a data center. The removable transport caster assembly is temporarily installed on the cabinet to enable the cabinet to be relocated to another location in the data center. The removable transport caster assembly includes a transport caster and a transport caster bracket secured to the transport caster. The transport caster has a mounting plate, a mounting bracket extending from the mounting plate, a lifting plate pivotally connected to the mounting plate, a lifting lever pivotally connected to the mounting bracket and a wheel assembly. The transport caster bracket secures the transport caster to the cabinet when relocation of the cabinet is desired.
