Vibration shock mitigation for components in a server rack includes a server rack comprising: a first server component chassis and a second server component chassis installed in adjacent locations within the server rack; and a chassis gap filler comprising: an elastic dampening sheet configured for placement between the first server component chassis and the second server component chassis, wherein the elastic dampening sheet is further configured to cover a portion of one side of the first server component chassis; and at least two attachment points configured to secure the elastic dampening sheet to the server rack.

Vibration shock mitigation for components in a server rack

An apparatus for cooling warm air, including a rack containing one or more ventilation slots; a reservoir connected to the rack that contains a cooling solution; and a plurality of components, located within the rack, that receive and distribute the cooling solution from the reservoir. The plurality of components consist of at least one of the following structures: one or more hollow vertical louvers, one or more hollow horizontal louvers, one or more hollow diagonal louvers, and one or more hollow cylindrical louvers. Additionally, the plurality of components may comprise a flexible material that descends from a top portion of the rack, directly below the reservoir, at the same time that an activation component causes the cooling solution to flow from the reservoir into the flexible material.

Emergency cooling device

Provided is a cable retention device configured to facet attachments and projections onto an enclosure. The device includes an inner and outer planar layer which include an inner and outer cutout respectively. The inner and outer planar layers are attached and aligned so the inner and outer cutouts overlap. The inner planar layer includes a pair of vertical slotted cutouts connected by a center cutout to form a plurality of pinch points. Each vertical slotted cutout includes an inner edge and an outer edge.

Cable management for enclosures

A server rack door has a first dimension and a second dimension orthogonal to the first dimension and includes a first group of first obstructions arranged along the first dimension. The first obstructions define a first plurality of flow channels. The server rack door further includes a second group including second obstructions arranged along the first dimension and offset from the first obstructions along the second dimension. The second dimension corresponds to a thickness of the server rack door. The second obstructions define a second plurality of flow channels, where the first obstructions and the second obstructions alternate along the first dimension.

Acoustical noise reduction and distributed airflow in electrical equipment

Provided is a cable retention device to facet attachments and projections onto an enclosure. The device includes an inner and outer planar layer which include an inner and outer cutout respectively. The inner and outer planar layers are attached and aligned so the inner and outer cutouts overlap. The inner planar layer includes a pair of vertical slotted cutouts connected by a center cutout to form a plurality of pinch points. Each vertical slotted cutout includes an inner edge and an outer edge.

A mobility apparatus. The mobility apparatus may include a continuous fixed-length rail attached horizontally to a bottom structural member of the front or the rear of a server rack. The continuous fixed-length rail exceeds a width of the server rack by an equal amount on either side of the server rack. The mobility apparatus also includes a lower rail portion attached to a lower edge of the continuous fixed-length rail; a raised rail portion attached to an extended length of each portion of the continuous fixed-length rail; and at least one wheel attached to an underside of each end of the extended length of the continuous fixed-length rail.

Method and apparatus for acoustical noise reduction and distributed airflow

A server enclosure having a plurality of panels abutted to one another and constrained by a connector having a channel and at least one aperture. Each respective panel has at least one perpendicular portion being perpendicular to a face of the respective panel and adjoining a perimeter of the respective panel. Connectivity media coincident to the aperture can affix at least two panels and a connector to one another.

Perforated panel connection

Acoustic door

A door assembly comprises a rectangular door frame that has a first, second, third, and fourth frame member. The first frame member has an outer surface that has a first pair of parallel slots. A first parallel flange protrudes from and perpendicular to the outer surface between the parallel slots. A vane extends from the first frame member to the second frame member between the third and fourth frame members. The vane has a first end that includes a pair of parallel flanges fitted into the parallel slots such that a rear surface of the first planar flange is arranged between rear edges of the first parallel flanges. A bar is mounted to the rear surface of the first planar flange and configured to hold the rear edges of the first parallel flanges in substantially the same plane as the rear surface of the first planar flange.
