  • Publication number: 20190171263
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, for a computing platform including a controller to manage an amount of power supplied to a processor core. The processor core operates in a first operation mode consuming a first power level, and in a second operation mode consuming a second power level higher than the first power level. The controller is to reduce or cause to be reduced an amount of power supplied to a component of a thermal energy management solution for a time period from a third power level to a fourth power level lower than the third power level, while increasing or causing to be increased an amount of power supplied to the processor core for the processor core to operate in the second operation mode at the second power level during but not exceed the time period. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Publication number: 20190098797
    Abstract: Apparatuses and systems associated with anti-recirculation devices for fan-implemented coolant systems are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for server computing may include a housing to be affixed adjacent to a fan associated with providing a flow of air to a compute, storage or network node. The housing may be in line with the flow of air, and may have an arrangement of apertures formed in a side of the housing. The apparatus may further include a gate rotatably coupled to the housing. The gate may include a door to rotate to cover the arrangement of apertures based on a lack of air being blown by the fan to prevent a back flow of air through the fan. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 6496371
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for safely and quickly mounting a heat sink in heat conducting relation with an electronic component on a supporting member such as a printed circuit board, allow sequential assembly of the heat sink and a wire clip for mounting the heat sink on the supporting member in a manner which reduces the possibility of damaging the electronic component or components on the supporting member. A load centering part is arranged between an elongated central portion of the wire clip and the heat sink to help locate the clip force on the heat sink generally opposite the electronic component without retaining the central portion of the mounting device on the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 6493233
    Abstract: A method and assembly for mounting printed circuit boards (PCBs) to a chassis. In one embodiment, a plurality of internally-threaded mounting posts are secured (e.g., press-fit) to the chassis and the PCB includes a plurality of holes into which the mounting posts extend. Each hole includes a pair of keepout pads to isolate internal PCB circuitry (other than ground planes) from electric contact with the assembly components. A threaded faster is used to secure the assembly. In another embodiment, a collar is added to the assembly and the extending portion of the post is elongated such that it extends into the collar, providing additional thread engagement for thinner PCBs. In a third embodiment, hat-section components are secured (e.g., via wave soldering) over respective holes in the PCB. The hat-section component includes a counterbore through which the threaded fastener passes and is sized to receive a portion of a threaded standoff.
