Abstract: To achieve multiple benefits, a high speed computing system is configured in a hierarchical manner with flexibility and re-configurability concerns maximized. This begins with a particular cabinet architecture which is specifically designed to accommodate various needs and considerations. The cabinet or rack is designed to receive various chassis assemblies depending on the particular needs and or functions involved. These may include a compute chassis, a switch chassis, or a rectifier chassis, which can be incorporated into the cabinet. Within each chassis, specific components are then inserted, with each of these components being in a subsystem configuration. For example, the compute chassis is specifically designed to receive a number of compute blades. Similarly, the switch chassis is designed to receive a number of switch blades. Lastly, the rectifier chassis is configured to receive a number of rectifiers.

Abstract: A system and method for cooling a plurality of connectors interfacing electrical and optical signals to circuit boards in an electronics cabinet, such as backplane connectors routing signals to circuit boards housed in card cage assemblies. Heat pipes coupled to the connectors efficiently remove heat from the connectors and sink the connector heat to a cold junction of a liquid cooling system, which cooling system may also extract heat from air flow cooling the circuit boards such that the system is room neutral, meaning that the ambient temperature remains constant during operation of the system. The heat connector cooling system is effective where connectors are outside of an air flow cooling envelope that may cool the circuit boards.
