Patent number: 12181380Abstract: A detection apparatus and a server are provided, where the apparatus is configured to detect whether a coolant heat pipe or a solenoid valve on the coolant heat pipe in a device is abnormal, and the apparatus includes a control chip. The control chip can control a working state of the solenoid valve. The control chip can further obtain a temperature of a component in the device. When it is detected whether the coolant heat pipe or the solenoid valve is abnormal, the control chip may obtain a temperature difference of the component in the device when the working state of the solenoid valve is controlled, and relatively conveniently determine whether the coolant heat pipe or the solenoid valve is abnormal based on the temperature difference.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventors: Weiqiang Xu, Xiaochu Li, Yimin Yao

Publication number: 20240045485Abstract: A server power supply includes a first voltage input line, a second voltage input line, a ground cable, a switch, and a voltage limiting device. The switch and the voltage limiting device are connected in series and located between the first voltage input line and the ground cable. When a voltage of the first voltage input line is greater than a conduction voltage, both the switch and the voltage limiting device are in an ON state, so that the server is protected from a relatively high voltage. When the voltage of the first voltage input line decreases and is less than the conduction voltage after the voltage of the first voltage input line is greater than the conduction voltage, the voltage limiting device is in an OFF state.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.Inventors: Zao Liu, Yimin Yao, Junen Gao, Xiaochu Li

Publication number: 20230359400Abstract: A first storage node communicates with at least one second storage node. A physical disk included in the at least one second storage node is mapped as a virtual disk of the first storage node. The method may include: receiving a first write request, where the first write request carries first to-be-written data; striping the first to-be-written data to obtain striped data, and writing the striped data to a physical disk and/or the virtual disk of the first storage node; and recording a write location of the striped data. For example, the technical solution may be applied to a storage system that includes an NVMe SSD.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Huawei Liu, Yu Hu, Can Chen, Jinshui Liu, Xiaochu Li, Chunyi Tan
