  • Patent number: 9681586
    Abstract: A method for designing and assembling a modular IT rack includes a manufacturer designing and constructing lightweight, modular corrugated cardboard modules/segments and corresponding banding and corner components that can be used to assemble the modular IT rack. A user/assembler of the modular IT rack assembles modular tray grouping and enclosure (MTGE) casing units using a first set of cardboard modules. The user constructs trays using a second set of cardboard modules. The user affixes cable support components to the sides of sub-groups of the constructed trays. The user encloses sub-groups of trays having the affixed cable support components within the assembled MTGE casing units to create MTGE blocks. The user vertically stacks the MTGE blocks having the tray sub-groups and the affixed cable support components enclosed within. The user aligns and secures the vertically stacked MTGE blocks in a fixed position using banding and corner components.

  • Patent number: 9622373
    Abstract: Several embodiments include a server rack that accesses high voltage direct current (HVDC) power from a power source external to the server rack. The server rack can provide the HVDC power to two or more shelves in the server rack via at least a HVDC power rail pair. One or more DC-DC converters in a shelf of server rack can convert the HVDC power to a lower DC voltage usable by information technology (IT) load in the shelf. A power distribution board (e.g., in the shelf or in the server rack) can then provide the lower DC voltage to the IT load. The DC-DC converters can be blindly mated with the power distribution board and can be hot swappable from the power distribution board.
