Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A server chassis, including: a first compartment configured to receive one or more central electronics complexes (‘CECs’); and a second compartment configured to receive one or more fans for cooling the one or more CECs, wherein the second compartment is coupled to the first compartment such that: the second compartment is inserted within the first compartment when the second compartment is in an operational position; and the second compartment is outside of the first compartment and rotated relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in a service position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A server chassis, comprising: a first compartment configured to receive one or more central electronics complexes (‘CECs’); and a second compartment configured to receive one or more fans for cooling the one or more CECs, wherein the second compartment is coupled to the first compartment such that: the second compartment is inserted within the first compartment when the second compartment is in an operational position; and the second compartment is outside of the first compartment and rotated relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in a service position. 2 . The server chassis of claim 1 wherein: the first compartment is configured to receive a top CEC and a bottom CEC; and the second compartment is configured to rotate up or down relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the service position. 3 . The server chassis of claim 1 wherein: the first compartment is configured to receive a left CEC and a right CEC; and the second compartment is configured to rotate left or right relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the service position. 4 . The server chassis of claim 1 further comprising a locking mechanism for securing the second compartment in a non-rotated position relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the operational position. 5 . The server chassis of claim 1 further comprising a locking mechanism for securing the second compartment in a rotated position relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in a service position. 6 . The server chassis of claim 1 wherein the first compartment further comprises a CEC removal mechanism. 7 . The server chassis of claim 1 wherein the second compartment further comprises a plurality of fans, each fan in the second compartment individually coupled to a power source. 8 . The server chassis of claim 1 wherein the first compartment further comprises a plurality of CECs, each CEC in the first compartment individually coupled to a power source. 9 . A system comprising: a first compartment that includes one or more central electronics complexes (‘CECs’); and a second compartment that includes one or more fans for cooling the one or more CECs, wherein second compartment is coupled to the first compartment such that: the second compartment is inserted within the first compartment when the second compartment is in an operational position; and the second compartment is outside of the first compartment and rotated relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in a service position. 10 . The system of claim 9 wherein: the first compartment includes a top CEC and a bottom CEC; and the second compartment is configured to rotate up or down relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the service position. 11 . The system of claim 9 wherein: the first compartment includes a left CEC and a right CEC; and the second compartment is configured to rotate left or right relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the service position. 12 . The system of claim 9 further comprising a locking mechanism for securing the second compartment in a non-rotated position relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in the operational position. 13 . The system of claim 9 further comprising a locking mechanism for securing the second compartment in a rotated position relative to the first compartment when the second compartment is in a service position. 14 . The system of claim 9 wherein the first compartment further comprises a CEC removal mechanism. 15 . The system of claim 9 wherein each fan in the second compartment is individually coupled to a power source. 16 . The system of claim 9 wherein each CEC in the first compartment is individually coupled to a power source.
