Publication number: 20160324030Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to rack systems for housing computing devices. The rack may include shelves supported by flanges of a pair of corresponding inserts. The flanges may be spaced along the length of each of the inserts. The distance between the flanges may define the height of a shelf when placed in the rack. The pair of corresponding inserts may be placed along an inner sidewall of the rack by mating hooks of the inserts with corresponding slots of the inner sidewall and subsequently removed by demating the hooks and slots. For example, a pair of inserts with one distance between the flanges may be replaced by a pair of inserts with another distance between the flanges in order to increase the shelf height of the rack. By replacing the shelves and/or the inserts, a user may quickly and easily in order to reconfigure the rack.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2016Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: William Leslie Dailey, Winnie Leung, Angela Ying-Ju Chen, Michael John Bliss

Patent number: 9417664Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to relates server rack architecture for housing computing components on a plurality of shelves. More specifically, the shelves of a particular rack may each include a power and data bus (“PDB”) pre-configured to support a particular number of devices of the shelf. A PDB may also include a number of power and data connections for blind mating with the devices of the shelf. The PDB may include two blades which extend away from the PDB and blind mate with the main bus bar. Thus, each PDB may route both power and data signals between a main bus bar for the rack and each of the devices of the shelf. A shelf may be reconfigured for a different number of devices by changing the configuration of the PDB.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2015Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: William Leslie Dailey, Angela Ying-Ju Chen

Patent number: 9313557Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to rack systems for housing computing devices. The rack may include a plurality of removable shelves. A removable shelf may include a column having a plurality of slots. By stacking a plurality of the removable shelves in the rack, a larger column may be formed. This larger column may provide additional space to mount other features. In one example, the larger column may be used to mount a wire duct. The wire duct may be attached to a mounting plate having a plurality of hooks. The hooks of the mounting plate may mate with the slots of the columns of the shelves. The mounting plates may be used to mount features at other locations on the rack as well.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Angela Ying-Ju Chen, William Dailey

Publication number: 20130229780Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a patch panel for networking components. The patch panel may facilitate access to the rear ports of the networking components. In one example, the patch panel may include a body and a face, and may mount to the networking component. Once mounted, one or more jumpers may be connected to rear ports on the component as well as connection interfaces mounted on the face of the patch panel. In this way, the rear ports may be accessible from the front of the component by the connection interfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2012Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Paul Trudeau, Angela Ying-Ju Chen, William Dailey
