  • Publication number: 20140134000
    Abstract: A control circuit controls a fan to cool an integrated baseboard management controller (iBMC) in a server. The control circuit includes a state determination module. When the server is powered off and the iBMC is operating, the state determination module receives low level signals from a power supply unit (PSU) and the iBMC. The state determination module connects the PSU and the fan, such that the fan is operating. When the server and the iBMC are powered off, the state determination module receives a low level signal from the PSU and a high level signal from the iBMC. The state determination module disconnects the PSU from the fan, turning the fan off. When the server is operating, the state determination module receives a high level signal from the PSU. The state determination module disconnects the PSU from the fan, turning the fan off.

  • Publication number: 20140110206
    Abstract: A mobile power pack includes a cover over a guide track which includes first, second, third, and fourth turning points. A sliding block defines a sliding groove to receive a ball, and the slotted ball interacts with the guide track. An elastic element is connected to the sliding block. When a cable is pulled out, the sliding block slides from the first turning point to the second turning point. When the pull on the cable is released, the elastic element restores to cause the sliding block to move until the ball reaches the third turning point, to lock the cable in position. When the cable is pulled and released, the sliding block slides until the ball reaches the fourth turning point, allowing the cable to be retracted into the body of the power pack.
