Abstract: A data center, a rack information handling system (RIHS) delivery kit, and a method provide for removing an RIHS from and delivering an RIHS to a data center. The data center includes an enclosure having a raised floor and a lateral opening. The lateral opening has a bottom edge that is aligned with the raised floor in order to transfer a rack information handling system (RIHS) through the lateral opening for a selected one of: (i) removing the RIHSs from the raised floor; and (ii) delivering the RIHS to the raised floor. The data center includes a pallet interface coupled to or integrated into an exterior edge of the raised floor and vertically presented to abut and engage a lateral edge of a roll-off rack shock pallet that supports the RIHS during transport.

Abstract: An air filtration panel is used in an information handling system (IHS) rack within a modular data center. The air filtration panel includes an air filter and a filter frame. The filter frame has a lateral width at least as wide as a transverse opening in a four-post rack. The four-post rack has left and right flanges respectively coupled to a pair of posts of the four-post rack. Each of the left and right flanges has vertically aligned holes. The filter frame includes a channel that receives and contains an outer edge of the air filter. The filter frame left and right surfaces each having fastener through-holes spaced to align with and mount to respective holes in the corresponding one of the left and right flanges of the four-post rack.

Abstract: A data center, an air handling system, and a method for installing equipment in a data center enable internal differential pressure relief within the data center. A volumetric container has mounting location(s) for heat generating information technology (IT) component(s) positioned within the volumetric container. A cold aisle on one side and a hot aisle on another side of the IT component(s) that have air passages for air cooling. A cooling unit is coupled to the volumetric container to pressurize the cold aisle with supply air and draws return air from the hot aisle. An air barrier is attached across an air passage between the cold and the hot aisles. A differential pressure relief mechanism is attached to the air barrier. The differential pressure relief mechanism is configured to open in responses to an air pressure difference across the differential pressure relief mechanism exceeding a pressure threshold.

Abstract: A data center includes a rack containing a first and second information handling system. A panel having a first opening and a second opening is coupled to a side of the rack. A cable guide is positioned adjacent to the panel. The cable guide encloses a cable passage extending there-through. A first cable extends through the cable passage, through the first opening and terminates in a first connection to the first information handling system. A second cable extends through the cable passage, through the second opening and terminates in a second connection to the second information handling system. The cable guide and the first opening provide a first separate routing path for the first cable to the first information handling system and the cable guide and the second opening provide a second separate routing path for the second cable to the second information handling system.

Abstract: A large-scale information handling system (LIHS) includes a plurality of nodes each having at least one functional component. An Interactive, Component-Level Visual Monitoring and Control (ICVMC) system displays on a graphical user interface (GUI) of a display device a selected one of the different levels of visual representations of a plurality of nodes, including a system level, node levels, sub-node levels, and component levels. The ICVMC system displays a control affordance on the display device, receives a selection of the control affordance from a user input component that is capable of manipulating and/or interfacing with one or more items on the GUI, and performs a control action to an identical functional component in each of the plurality of nodes in response to the selection of the control affordance.

Abstract: A power distribution system, modular data center (MDC), and method provide a permanent electrical enclosure sized for an eventual maximum load allowing for flexible ampacity and concurrent upgradeability. A busway is mountable in a MDC to carry three-phase AC electrical power. A three-phase electrical cable is rated to carry a maximum power value to connect to a power distribution unit (PDU) of a first rack-based information handling system (IHS) of the MDC. A bus plug is engaged to the first busway and has at least three conduction paths that electrically connect to the three-phase electrical cable. Interchangeable fused switch modules of different power ratings are selectable to be received in a fused switch module receptacle in the bus plug. A reduced power fused switch module for initial power capacity of the MDC can later be upgraded to a maximum power rating without changing anything but the fused switch module.

Abstract: A modular utility room a mobile enclosure is positionable adjacent to an information technology (IT) enclosure of a modular data center (MDC). One of a first and second equipment cabinet is selected for installing in the mobile enclosure. Each equipment cabinet contains functional equipment having a lower electrical coupling component that are connectable to substrate-installed conduits below the mobile enclosure and an upper electrical coupling component that connect to and support rack-based information handling systems (IHSs) in the IT enclosure. An interface panel is received in an interface panel opening in the mobile enclosure correspond to the selected equipment cabinet and will not receive the other equipment cabinet. The interface panel positions the lower electrical coupling over a conduit opening in alignment with a defined location relative to the mobile enclosure for alignment with the substrate-installed conduits at a deployed location of the mobile utility room.

The first alignment component is mounted at a first location on a floor of the modular data center, and is configured to align a cabinet rack within a rack slot of the modular data center. The second alignment component is mounted at a second location on the floor, and is configured be placed in physical communication with the cabinet rack in response to the cabinet rack being fully inserted in the rack slot.

Abstract: Interactive component-level visual monitoring and controlling an information handling system (IHS) includes displaying a visual representation of one of a plurality of different levels of the IHS based on a current level identified/selected on a graphical user interface (GUI). A current functional state is received of functional components of the IHS at each component level that are being monitored. A controller displays an operating status of at least one functional component on the physical representation at each level of the plurality of different levels. The operating status includes failed, malfunctioning state, and/or a check and/or repair operating state. In response to receiving a user input selecting a specific component level among the one or more levels that is different from a current level being displayed, the controller modifies the GUI to display the physical representation of the specific component level and identifying any components having the problem state.

Abstract: A component and card coupling alignment and support apparatus includes a card. A primary component connector is mounted to the card. A primary component including a connection edge engages the primary component connector. A secondary component extends from the primary component. An alignment and support member is included on the secondary component, whereby the card engages the alignment and support member on the secondary component. The engagement of the alignment and support member with the card aligns the primary component with the primary component connector during their coupling and supports the primary component in the primary component connector after their coupling. The card may then be coupled to an information handling system connector in an information handling system.
