Abstract: A periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads is disclosed. A variable representing rotational vibration status is maintained in a rotational vibration log. The variable is processed to determine whether a storage device exhibits a rotational vibration issue. Workload analysis is performed to identify a change to the workloads run on physically separate hardware to resolve the rotational vibration issue and thus eliminate the need for more expensive hardware.

Abstract: A method and computer program product is presented to map noise levels onto the hydraulic operating plane. Application of this model has the potential to show which fan is quieter, where, and by how much. It is shown how the technique can be applied to a diverse set of comparisons including speed, diameter, type, model, and multiple fans in combination.

Abstract: An acoustic door for an equipment enclosure, such as a rack mount cabinet, also provides a low impedance air flow uniformly delivered across the cabinet opening. A pair of metal panels, with acoustic foam along the rear surfaces, extend angularly outward and toward one another to form an air inlet opening between the outer edges. A central column is positioned between the panels which, in a horizontal section, forms an aerodynamic dome which has a continuously curved sheet metal surface at the front and sides that also captures a core of acoustic foam that is exposed at the rear. A rigid vane is disposed at each lateral side and parallel to the central column to cause air to follow the column surface, deflecting air behind the column and effecting uniform delivery of air flow across the cabinet front opening at the rear opening of the door.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing rotational vibration transmission within a data storage system. A storage device apparatus comprises a carrier having opposing first and second side plates. A support point may be disposed within the first side plate at about a longitudinal center region of the carrier. The support point is configured to contact an enclosure that mounts a plurality of carriers and is the sole support point in the first side plate. Preferably, the support point is positioned such that minimal rotational vibration is transmitted within the data storage system once the carrier is placed in an enclosure housing a plurality of carriers. A second support point may be disposed in the second side plate.
