• H05K 7/14 - Mounting supporting structure in casing or on frame or rack

Abstract

Disclosed is a server facility, rack stand cabinet, and proprietary floor tiles advantageous to induced air cooling of computer servers. The tile includes an airflow source embedded within the tile, and base tiles can be interchangeable with the airflow source tile. The airflow sources can be positioned in a surface, such as a wall, floor, or ceiling of a server facility. The server cabinets can be positioned proximate to the airflow source(s) and a conduit within the cabinet can be extended to access the airflow source or a conduit extending therefrom.

Abstract

Disclosed is system, method, and rack stand portion for the advantageous cooling of computer equipment. When multiple instances of computer equipment are managed from a central authority, cooling, heating, and/or cessation of either can be controlled in a way that enhances efficiency. Impediments that control access channels and interior access to computer equipment is toggled by the present invention.

Abstract

The present invention includes a server system that uses an airflow source that can be external to the computer that the airflow source cools. The computer may be sealed such that the conduits are the primary source of fluid ingress and egress. The airflow source can be positioned in a case of the computer, support members affixing the computer to a rack stand, the rack stand, or beyond conduit that conducts fluid to the rack stand.

Abstract

Disclosed is a server rack system within an enclosed building and a process for directing air through a server facility. Air is channeled from conduit to a server rack assembly and then through a closed loop back again into the server rack assembly from channeling exhaust air through conduit away from the server rack assembly.

Abstract

Disclosed is a server rack system within an enclosed building and a process for directing air through a server facility. Air is channeled within a server rack assembly and then through a closed loop back again into the server rack assembly. Impediments may control the degree of airflow availability.

Abstract

Disclosed is system, method, and rack stand portion for the advantageous cooling of computer equipment. The rack stand includes a hollow body that may be formed of cartridges. Gas from an airflow source is guided into the rack stand body and then into a sealed case of the computer equipment. Air flow is then guided out of the computer equipment for recirculation, exhaust, or other purpose.
