A rack security system includes a locking mechanism connected to a server. The locking mechanism is configured to lock onto the busbar of a rack. When the locking mechanism is locked to the busbar, the locking mechanism may prevent removal of the server from the rack. When the locking mechanism is unlocked, the server may be removable from the rack.

A status monitoring system includes a status sensor configured to monitor a status of an electronic circuit. If the status monitoring system detects a status that exceeds a threshold, the status monitoring system records the details of the event on the electronic circuit. The status monitoring system operates in a low-power power mode during transit from a manufacturing facility to an installation location.

A leak detection system for a thermal interface material (TIM) includes a sensor located proximate to a processor. As thermal fluctuations or other events cause the TIM to flow out of the gap between the processor and a thermal management device, a leak detection sensor may detect the presence of the TIM. This allows an operator of the computing device to identify TIM leaks, thereby preventing or reducing damage to the processor or other electronic components of a computing device.

A commonly designed processor heat exchanger decouples the mounting hardware used to mount the heat exchanger to a processor from the heat exchanger itself. This allows a single heat exchanger design to be mounted to various different types of processors using processor customized mounting brackets that engage with flanges extending out from a body of the heat exchanger.

A system and method for controlling a cooling system for an electronic datacenter component using a two-phase thermal management system with dynamic thermoelectric regulation. The system includes a thermoelectric cooler to transfer heat to a hot conduit of the thermal management system and initialize or maintain a natural convective flow of working fluid by maintaining a temperature difference between a hot and cold conduit.

A modular data storage tape library includes a modular frame having a form factor similar to other types of computing racks. The modular data storage tape library includes a hermetically sealed enclosure within the modular frame and a cooling portion within the modular frame. Data storage tapes, data storage drives and robotics for moving the data storage tapes are included within the hermetically sealed enclosure. A heat exchanger transfers heat from the hermetically sealed enclosure to the cooling portion outside of the sealed enclosure through a boundary of the hermetically sealed enclosure without introducing air from the data center into the hermetically sealed enclosure. Because air is neither introduced nor removed from the hermetically sealed enclosure, humidity fluctuations are minimal, if existent, and contaminants are prevented from entering the hermetically sealed enclosure, thus increasing the life spans of the data storage tapes included in the hermetically sealed enclosure.
