  • Publication number: 20240032241
    Abstract: An information technology equipment enclosure comprises a plurality of IT components, cold plates disposed over at least two of the IT components, and a cooling fluid manifold disposed within the IT equipment enclosure. The coolant liquid manifold has multiple input connectors and multiple output connectors. Each of the cold plates are coupled to the cooling fluid manifold using a coolant line attached to one of the input connectors and a coolant line attached to one of the output connectors. An input cooling liquid line couples the coolant liquid manifold to an output of an external liquid cooling system, and an output liquid line couples the coolant liquid manifold to an input of the external liquid cooling system. The coolant liquid manifold is configured to receive cooling fluid from the external liquid cooling system and to distribute the cooling fluid to all of the cold plates via the input connectors.

  • Publication number: 20230123557
    Abstract: A module modular containment system for isolating and cooling racks of information handling systems in a facility comprises a plurality of vertical panels coupled to a top panel to isolate the rack from room air and a heat exchanger coupled to a facility water feed that supplies water at a water temperature greater than the room air temperature. Heated air exiting the rack passes through the heat exchanger to transfer heat to the water such that the air is cooled to the first air temperature. An air conditioning system and the modular containment system can operate independently to cool the room air to a lower air temperature for the comfort of people in the facility and to cool information handling systems based on operating parameters of the information handling systems.

  • Patent number: 11378608
    Abstract: A data processing device includes an internal volume for housing devices and an isolation test system. The isolation test system makes a determination that an electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is to be determined; in response to the determination: suppresses generation of electromagnetic radiation by the devices; while the generation of the electromagnetic radiation by the devices is suppressed: identifies a quantity of second electromagnetic radiation that propagated through a boundary of the internal volume; makes a second determination, based at least in part on the quantity, that the electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is an electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state; and initiates performance of an action set to remediate the electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state of the data processing device based on the second determination.
