International Classification:

H05K 7/16
A47B 81/00

US Classification:

361727, 3122231, 3122232

Abstract:

A framework installation guide assembly is provided that is selectively attachable to mounting rails of an electronic enclosure cabinet. The mounting rails include a plurality of mounting apertures at predetermined intervals. The framework includes a set of guide rails extending into the electronic enclosure cabinet. A first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket are affixed to a first guide rail and second guide rail, respectively, for selectively coupling the guide rails to the vertical mounting rails using fasteners at a selected one of the mounting apertures. An array of rollers is coupled to the first guide rail and the second guide rail for providing support to a bottom-side surface of the electronic component. The array of rollers further provides a slidable support surface for allowing the electronic component to be moved to a position for securing the electronic component to the mounting rails of the electronic enclosure cabinet.

Abstract:

A data storage device has a housing having a size and shape compatible with being inserted into a floppy disk drive. A data storage unit is provided within the housing for storing a plurality of floppy disk data images. A rotating hub is mounted in the housing to receive the spindle driven by the floppy disk drive. The rotating hub has a position encoder for generating a hub position signal. A transducer is mounted to the housing spanning a range of motion of the read/write head of the floppy disk drive. A head position sensor is mounted to the housing for generating a head position signal in response to a sensed location of the read/write head. A controller within the housing is responsive to the hub position signal and the head position signal to identify a position within a sector of a selected one of the floppy disk data images and to exchange data between the transducer and the identified position of the selected floppy disk data image in the data storage unit.

Abstract:

A smart rack having intelligent wireless climate sensors that detect and report one or more climate conditions is provided. The smart rack includes an enclosure that houses network elements and an array of intelligent wireless climate sensors that form a mesh network. The enclosure of the smart rack includes a console that displays climate measurements and notifications. The intelligent wireless climate sensors perform periodic climate measurements and detect climate conditions in the smart rack. When a climate condition is detected the console of the smart rack graphically displays the climate condition.

International Classification:

G05D 17/00

US Classification:

700295, 709223, 713340

Abstract:

A media, method, and data center power management system are provided to manage planned and unplanned data center power outages in a data center having network elements. During a planned outage, a remote device generates a request to simulate a power outage. The data center management system processes the request and suggests powering off one or more network elements based on a role associated with the network element and a measured power consumption associated with each network element. During an unplanned outage, the data center management system receives environmental data that triggers the generation of instructions to power off one or more network elements based on at least one of a calculated uptime associated with one or more backup generators, a role associated with each network element, and a power consumption associated with each network element.

Abstract:

A method and system are provided for airflow management in a data center. The data center includes network elements, sensors, and heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) equipment. The sensors measure climate conditions in the data center and provide an airflow management system with measurements that are utilized to determine which areas in the data center violate data center temperature thresholds and require more air capacity. The airflow management system increases the airflow to areas that contribute to the violation by controlling HVAC equipment to increase air movement or by selecting other areas in the data center or external to the data center that have excess capacity and routing the excess capacity to the areas that contribute to the violation.

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, network management system, and network clients are provided for out-of-band network security management. The network management system includes routers, firewalls, and out-of-band interfaces. The out-of-band interface of the network management system transmits access control lists to network clients connected to a trusted network. The trusted network connects the routers, firewalls, and network clients. The firewalls receive access control lists from the network management system to police communications that traverse the trusted network and an untrusted network. The routers receive access control lists from the network management system to police communications that traverse the router within the trusted network. The access control lists for the routers and firewalls are transmitted over a network interface to the trusted network and are transmitted separately from the access control lists for the network clients.

Abstract:

A multiprocessor system dynamically updates CPU affinities for processes executing on processors of the multiprocessor system based on an external signal. The external signal is generated by a monitor device. The external signal identifies the processors and the processes that require updating. In response to the external signal, the multiprocessor system redistributes the processes identified in the external signal and powers on or off one or more processors based on a processor threshold associated with the multiprocessor system.
