The systems and methods disclosed are directed towards a retractable and adjustable display arm for a data center cabinet that allows a user to access internal components of the data center cabinet without completely detaching a display from the data center cabinet. The retractable and adjustable display arm has an attachment base to pivotally couple the retractable and adjustable display arm to the data center cabinet, and also has a mounting portion for mounting a display, such as a computer display monitor, tablet, or the like, to the retractable and adjustable display arm. The attachment base achieves the pivotal coupling between the retractable and adjustable display arm to the data center cabinet using one or more hinges. Further, the mounting portion has one or more adjustable supports, allowing displays of varying sizes to be mounted in various locations on the mounting portion.

Datacenter component maintenance time tracking

Systems and techniques for tracking and providing real-time visualizations of maintenance time for datacenter components. The systems include sensors to detect when datacenter components are opened for maintenance, such as hot switching of hard drive disks, to initialize a countdown timer. Status indicator lights of components within the datacenter component are used to display visual representations of the countdown timer. The visualizations present a remaining or elapsed maintenance time remaining to ensure components of the datacenter component are not damaged by overheating during maintenance.

Low Profile Keyboard Monitor and Mouse System
20220386499 · 2022-12-01 ·

The present disclosure relates to a compact keyboard, monitor, and mouse (KMM) system for use in an equipment rack. The system includes a tray subsystem including a pair of drawer slides configured to mate with the equipment rack, each drawer slide having a bottom plane parallel to the ground when installed in the equipment rack.
