An information handling system includes a chassis having a cold aisle edge and a hot aisle edge, one or more devices inserted within the cold aisle edge, a power supply unit, and a baseboard management controller (BMC). The BMC determines whether a power supply cooling fan of the power supply unit installed within the information handling system has a fixed airflow direction or changeable airflow direction. In response to the power supply cooling fan having a fixed airflow direction, the BMC determines a configuration of the information handling system. The BMC determines a power supply cooling fan orientation of a power supply cooling fan within the power supply unit, and whether the power supply cooling fan orientation corresponds to the configuration of the information handling system. If not, the BMC provides an alert message to an individual associated with the information handling system.

An information handling system may include an information handling resource and an air mover configured to drive a flow of air. The air mover may have one or more air mover components for driving the flow of air and a coil configured to heat the one or more air mover components.

Induction heater-integrated air mover

A computing apparatus including a printed circuit board (PCB) including a first central processing unit (CPU) socket and additional CPU socket(s); a CPU coupled to the first CPU socket; a base interposer coupled to the additional CPU socket(s); and one or more devices connected to the base interposer, wherein the base interposer provides a connection between the CPU and the one or more devices.

Interposer systems for information handling systems

A chassis directs cooling air around compute components of an information handling system (IHS). The chassis includes an enclosure having a base wall, an air intake at a front side, and an air exhaust at a rear side. Stiffeners are attached laterally across the base wall and positioned between the front side and a rear area of the base wall. A planar member is horizontally attached on top of the one or more stiffeners. The planar member is provisioned with the compute components, which substantially block air flow above the planar member causing thermal shadowing of the thermal energy generating component that is provisioned in the rear area. Air channels formed through each of the stiffeners direct air flow under the planar member toward the rear area that is provisioned with the thermal energy generating component.
