Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer-implemented services. To provide the computer-implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate within certain thermal dissipation requirements. To regulate the temperature of the hardware components, a fan may circulate air through the data processing system when the temperatures fall outside the thermal dissipation requirements. To regulate the temperature of the hardware components more efficiently, higher air flow rates may be desired. To increase air flow rates, a three-dimensional ventilation port may be implemented to de-constrict air flow when air enters or exits the data processing system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the quantity of hardware resources available for providing the computer implemented services may be modified. The quantity of hardware resources may be modified by adding removable cards to a host system. The host system may, while the added removable cards are cold, selectively warm the removable cards through conduction heating to retain their temperatures within operating temperature ranges.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer implemented services. To provide the computer implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate in predetermined manners. To manage the operation of the hardware components, the data processing system may cool them when their temperatures fall outside of thermal operating ranges. To facilitate cooling, fans may be densely packed and arranged in a manner the occupies a majority of the space in a stack up. At least one side of the fans may be exposed and may not be covered.

Abstract: A cable limiting device is for connecting to a connection device of a server. The connection device includes a motherboard, a bridgeboard, and a port disposed on the bridgeboard and coupled to the motherboard. The cable limiting device includes a side plate having a longitudinal opening and a transverse slot communicated with each other, a casing, and a cable fixed in the casing. A pillar of the casing passes through the longitudinal opening to be slidably disposed through the transverse slot and be movable relative to the transverse slot for making the casing away from or close to the side plate. When the cable is connected to the port, the casing is away from or close to the side plate with movement of the pillar in the transverse slot for guiding a gold-plated terminal of the cable to be inserted into the port and establishing signal transmission via the bridgeboard.
