  • Publication number: 20260282271
    Abstract: A high-efficiency cooling system for a compute system comprises a compute tray cooling system and a switch tray cooling system. The compute tray cooling system comprises a plurality of fans and a T-shaped heat sink bank secured to a substrate of the compute tray. The switch tray cooling system comprises an external fan bank to direct air flow through a plurality of switch trays. The compute tray cooling system and the switch tray cooling system operate in tandem to provide optimal cooling for the compute system, which may selectively active the switch tray cooling system depending on whether compute resources within the switch tray are active.
