Abstract
A data processing device includes an internal volume that is electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolated for housing EMI emitting devices, the internal volume is isolated by at least 80 decibels. The data processing device further includes a thermal management system adapted to control a flow of gas through the internal volume. The data processing device further includes a chassis, adapted to mount to a frame. The chassis includes the internal volume and the thermal management system. The thermal management system is disposed outside of the internal volume.
Claims20
A data processing device, comprising:
- an internal volume that is electromagnetic interference (EMI) isolated for housing EMI emitting devices, wherein the internal volume is isolated by at least 80 decibels;
- a thermal management system adapted to control a flow of gas through the internal volume;
- and
- a chassis, adapted to mount to a frame, comprising the internal volume and the thermal management system,
- wherein the thermal management system is disposed outside of the internal volume.
A system for providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression for data processing devices, comprising:
- a frame adapted to receive a first data processing device of the data processing devices and a second data processing device of the data processing devices;
- the data processing device comprising:
- a first internal volume for housing a first set of EMI emitting devices that is EMI isolated by at least 80 decibels, and
- a first support module;
- and
- a second data processing device of the data processing device, the second data processing device comprising:
- a second internal volume for housing a second set of EMI emitting devices that is EMI isolated, and
- a second support module.
A method for managing electromagnetic interference (EMI), comprising:
- disposing an EMI emitting device that emits the EMI in an internal volume, that is EMI isolated by at least 80 decibels, of a data processing device;
- while the EMI emitting device is disposed in the internal volume:
- providing power to the EMI emitting device via a support module, of the data processing device, that is not EMI isolated;
- providing communication services to the EMI emitting device via the support module;
- and
- providing thermal management services to the EMI emitting device via the support module.
