  • Publication number: 20130163194
    Abstract: A cabinet includes a chassis, a server module, a first cooling module, and a number of second cooling modules. The server module includes servers received in the chassis, and each server includes heat generating components. The first cooling module includes first fans. The second cooling modules are mounted in each server. Each second cooling module includes a second fan and a temperature sensor electrically connected to the second fan. When temperatures measured by the sensors are lower than a predetermined temperature, only the first fans are employed to dissipate heat of the servers; when any of the measured temperatures is higher than the predetermined temperature, the temperature sensor that detected the higher temperature transmits a signal to the corresponding second fan for starting the second fan.

  • Publication number: 20130155608
    Abstract: A rack-mount server system includes a cabinet, a number of server units mounted in the cabinet, and a number of fan modules. Each fan module cools one or a group of server units. Each fan module includes a mounting bracket fixed to the cabinet, a number of fans attached to the mounting bracket, an air flap, and a control box to control the power supply to the fans. The mounting bracket defines an air passage dedicated to each fan, through which air from the fan is guided to the one or a group of server units. Each mounting bracket defines a cutout, through which the air passages of two neighboring fans communicate with each other. The air flap may be slid closed or slid open to redirect or gather a cooling airflow as required, depending on the distribution of server units within the cabinet.
