  • Publication number: 20240138125
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for providing liquid and air cooling for IT components in a facility is disclosed. The system includes a module comprising at least one dry cooler and at least one liquid heat exchange device. The module includes a primary cooling loop with the at least one dry cooler and the at least one liquid heat exchange device. The system also includes a secondary loop that includes the at least one liquid heat exchange device and one or more IT units in the facility. The system includes a path for air cooling the one or more IT units in the facility that includes an air intake from outside the facility that supplies air for cooling the one or more IT units. The method includes adjusting a first valve controlling liquid flow in a primary loop and adjusting a second valve controlling liquid flow in a secondary loop.

  • Publication number: 20240138126
    Abstract: Multiple systems for providing liquid and air cooling for IT components is disclosed. The system includes a first module with at least one dry cooler that supplies liquid cooling to at least one liquid heat exchange device. The system also includes a second module with a first chamber that has a filter that accepts air from an outside source, a second chamber with at least one fan that moves the filtered air to cool one or more IT units resulting in heated air; and a third chamber that exhausts the heated air to the outside. A liquid heat exchange device provides liquid cooling to the one or more IT units.

  • Patent number: 6178086
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a removable component in a computer system includes a chassis for receiving the removable component. A resilient member is connected to the component and a handle is also connected to the component. The handle is movable to an open position and to a closed position. A catch is formed on the handle and the catch is engaged by the resilient member on the chassis to retain the handle in the closed position. A release member is connected to the handle. The release member is movable to deflect the resilient member so that the resilient member is disengaged from the catch to permit the handle to be moved to the open position.

  • Patent number: 6134115
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a component in a computer system. The component is mounted in the chassis of the computer system. The apparatus includes a retaining bracket connected to the chassis of the computer system and a handle connected at a first end thereof to the component. The handle has a first and a second protrusion formed at the first end and has a recess formed between the first and second protrusions. The first protrusion engages the retaining bracket at a first surface thereof to limit the component to a first insertion depth in response to the component being removably inserted into the chassis with the handle in an open position. The second protrusion engages the retaining bracket at a second surface thereof and translates the component to a second insertion depth in response to the handle being moved to a closed position. The recess is configured to establish a clearance between the recess and the retaining member during movement of the handle between the open and closed position.
