Patent number: 11683230Abstract: A method includes various operations and a computer program product causes a processor to perform various operations. The operations may include measuring a level of utilization of a field-replaceable unit in a computing system; determining, for each field-replaceable unit, a current configuration of the field-replaceable unit, wherein the current configuration of the field-replaceable unit has a first designated utilization level; and determining whether the measured level of utilization is greater than the first designated level of utilization. The operations further include identifying, in response to determining that the measured level of utilization is greater than the first designated level of utilization, a second configuration of the field-replaceable unit having a second designated utilization level that is greater than the measured level of utilization of the field-replaceable unit; and applying a feature on demand upgrade to the field-replaceable unit to implement the second configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Lenovo Global Technology (United States) Inc.Inventors: David W Cosby, Matthew S Henry, Gary D Cudak, Zhipeng Gao

Patent number: 7549917Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for distributing air in a blade server are disclosed. Embodiments may include a rotating damper having a damper door, sliding door, and connecting rod. The damper door may be rotatably attached to a blade server having a plurality of blade slots for receiving blades and may rotate between a blocking position and a flat position, where the damper door impedes air through a blade slot when in the blocking position. The sliding door may move between an open position and a closed position, where the sliding door allows airflow through an air opening while in the open position and blocks airflow through the air opening while in the closed position. A further embodiment may include an extension spring to apply a pulling force to the sliding door and a kick up spring to apply a pushing force to the damper door in the flat position.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew S.

Publication number: 20080280552Abstract: Methods for preventing exhaust backflow into a blower are disclosed. Embodiments may include a blower system with an invertible blower chassis having a blower exhaust to direct airflow from the blower chassis at an airflow angle. The system may also include a backflow damper frame attached to the blower chassis and positioned to receive airflow from the blower chassis and one or more vertical damper vanes rotatably attached to the backflow damper frame. Each damper vane may freely rotate between a first, closed position and a second, open position. The damper vanes may block airflow into the blower exhaust when in the closed position and may freely rotate to a position where the damper vanes are substantially parallel to the airflow from the blower exhaust. The damper vanes may each include a vane pin to rotatably attach to frame holes of the backflow damper frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2008Publication date: November 13, 2008Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bruce E.
