Abstract: The present disclosure is an apparatus for retaining a plug within a receptacle. The apparatus for retaining a plug within a receptacle may include a receptacle body and a retention device. The retention device may include a face portion and at least one prong, each prong of the at least one prong including a barb. The retention device is configured to retain a plug inserted within the receptacle body by contact with a shroud of the plug from the barb of each prong of the at least one prong of the retention device.

Abstract: A cooling system and method in accordance with the principles of the present invention employs a fan cartridge that includes a fan and a fan controller and is configured for mounting within an electronics cabinet's warm air return path in a data center cooling system. The fan cartridge may also include a display panel which may be used to convey operational information relative to the fan cartridge. A plurality of such fan cartridges may be mounted within the electronic cabinet's warm air return path to provide redundant air flow supply for the associated electronics cabinet.

Abstract: A plenum pressure controlled cabinet includes a sideways cooled component mounted so as to define gaps between the cabinet and the component. Baffles block some of the gaps. A negative pressure maintained within the cabinet causes makeup air to be drawn into the cabinet through a gap not blocked by baffles between one side of the cabinet and a cool air intake of the component. Thus, cool air is provided to the cool air intake of the component. A plenum pressure controlled enclosure includes an equipment rack maintained at a neutral pressure, a plenum maintained at a slightly negative pressure or a neutral pressure, and a cooling unit. The plenum takes in air from the rack and expels it into the cooling unit. By controlling differential pressures in the rack and the plenum, air is efficiently drawn from the equipment rack and cooled utilizing the cooling unit.
