Publication number: 20230297099Abstract: An information handling system includes a motherboard including a connector interface, and a liquid assisted air cooling (LAAC) module. The LAAC module includes a coolant pump to circulate coolant to one or more components in the information handling system, a leak sensor to detect whether the coolant is leaking, and a processor. The processor detects whether the coolant pump is operating properly. In response to the coolant pump not operating properly, the processor provides a first tachometer signal on a particular pin of the connector interface of the motherboard. The processor further monitors a voltage level received from the leak sensor. A first voltage level indicates a leak being detected, and a second voltage level indicates no leak being detected. In response to the voltage level being the first voltage level, the processor provides a second tachometer signal on the particular pin of the connector interface of the motherboard.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Sandburg Hu, Xiaoliang Zhou, Joe Wang

Patent number: 11664626Abstract: A staggered press-fit fish-eye connector for an information handling system includes multiple ground press-fit connectors and multiple signal press-fit connectors. The ground press-fit connectors include first, second, and third ground press-fit connectors. The signal press-fit connectors include first, second, third and fourth signal press-fit connectors. The ground press-fit connectors are substantially longer than the signal press-fit connectors. The first and second signal press-fit connectors are located between the first and second ground press-fit connectors, and the third and fourth signal press-fit connectors are located between the second and third ground press-fit connectors.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Sandburg Hu, Bhyrav Mutnury, Lynn Kong

Patent number: 11596073Abstract: An electronic equipment assembly has an interconnect including columns of signal conductors, connectors mounted to the columns of signal conductors, and a chassis coupled with the interconnect. The chassis provides slots that guide resource devices into engagement with the connectors mounted to the columns of signal conductors to enable the interconnect to electronically access the resource devices. At least one column of the columns of signal conductors of the interconnect is a multi-function column. Each multi-function column is constructed and arranged to electronically access different types of resource devices through a respective connector mounted to that multi-function column.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Kunzheng Zhang, Sandburg Hu, Aric Hadav, Xiang Yu, Yuxin Chen

Patent number: 11099613Abstract: The front of a rack-mounted 2RU (Rack Unit) chassis includes bays that receive replaceable components, such as storage drives. Two rear slots of such chassis may each receive 1RU servers that couple to a chassis midplane via interposers. Administration of such 2RU chassis is simplified when a 1 RU server can be installed identically in the top or bottom chassis slot. Embodiments provide this capability while avoiding locating interposers along the center of the midplane. A lower guide routes a floating interposer of the server to lower midplane connectors as the server is inserted in the lower slot. An upper guide routes the floating interposer to upper midplane connectors as the server is inserted in the upper slot. The floating interposer moves up and down based vertical travel of guidewheels that protrude from the server and are routed by the guides as the server is inserted in a slot.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Yuxin Chen, Sandburg Hu, Xiang Yu, Qingqiang Guo
