Abstract
Disclosed is a server rack system within an enclosed building and a process for directing air through a server facility. Air is channeled within a server rack assembly and then through a closed loop back again into the server rack assembly. Impediments may control the degree of airflow availability.
Claims8
A computer retention system for the retention of a computer, said system comprising:
- a server rack stand, having a rack stand body and at least one substantially-rigid computer support surface having at least one computer support surface orientation, comprising lateral support members defining:
- an interior influx void having (i) an airflow inlet passage positioned externally on said rack stand body and (ii) a plurality of substantially linearly-arranged airflow transmission openings defined in said at least one computer support surface;
- and
- an interior exodus void having:
- (i) a plurality of substantially linearly-arranged airflow exhaust reception openings defined in said at least one computer support surface and (ii) an outlet passage positioned externally on said rack stand body;
- and
- the computer having airflow channels equivalent in quantity, position, and dimension to said airflow transmission openings upon alignment of said computer in a retention position,
- multiple retainers, positioned on said at least one computer support surface, for selected, elevated retention of the computer between said lateral support members, said retainers having through-apertures aligned between said airflow channels and said airflow transmission openings,
- wherein said airflow passages are selectively-obstructable having obstruction states selected from a group of states including closed, partially open, and fully open.
