Configurable power input module for compute racks

An information processing system comprising:

• a rack structure capable of accommodating one or more servers removably installed therein;
• power distribution circuitry disposed in the rack structure and configured to provide power to the one or more servers;
• and
• a pair of power input modules (PIM-pair) disposed in the rack structure and configured to receive input power from outside of the rack structure, convert the input power to output power, and convey the output power to the power distribution circuitry,
• wherein the PIM-pair comprises:
• power circuitry that is configured to convert the input power to the output power,
• a corresponding pair of housings that house the power circuitry, wherein each housing includes a fixed portion,
• a corresponding pair of input assemblies configured to route input feeds from outside of the rack structure into the PIM-pair, the input feeds carrying the input power, and
• a corresponding pair of output assemblies comprising output feeds configured to supply the output power to the power distribution circuitry,
• wherein each input assembly and each output assembly are movable relative to the fixed portion of each corresponding housing.

A power input module (PIM) for a server rack, comprising:

• a housing configured to be installed in the server rack, the housing comprising
• a fixed portion,
• an input assembly coupled to the fixed portion and configured to receive and route power input feeds from outside the server rack into the PIM, and
• an output assembly coupled to the fixed portion and comprising an output connector configured to connect with and supply power to power distribution circuitry of the server rack;
• and
• power circuitry housed within the housing and configured to convey power from the power input feeds to the output connector,
• wherein each of the input assembly and the output assembly is independently movable relative to the fixed portion of the housing between at least two configurations.
