Abstract
In some examples, a computing system can include an exterior enclosure for the computing system, an electrical component within the enclosure, an interior cooling line within the enclosure to circulate coolant past the electrical component to remove heat generated by the electrical component, and an inlet coolant line port through the exterior enclosure to receive an inlet coolant line. The inlet coolant line port can, for example, include a sensor to detect tampering with an interior of the inlet coolant line.
Claims15
A computing system comprising:
- a liquid coolant line to circulate liquid through the computing system to cool an electronic component of the computing system;
- a coolant security monitor coupled to the liquid coolant line to detect interior tampering of the coolant line.
A liquid cooling security system comprising:
- a tamper detection sensor coupled to a liquid coolant line of a computing system to detect tampering of a liquid coolant line;
- and
- a non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to cause a computer processor to:
- receive data from the tamper detection sensor;
- determine whether the received data indicates tampering of the liquid coolant line;
- and
- perform an action to mitigate tampering when it is determined that the received data indicates tampering of the liquid coolant line.
A computing system comprising:
- an exterior enclosure for the computing system;
- an electrical component within the enclosure;
- an interior cooling line within the enclosure to circulate coolant past the electrical component to remove heat generated by the electrical component;
- and
- an inlet coolant line port through the exterior enclosure to receive an inlet coolant line;
- wherein the inlet coolant line port includes a sensor to detect tampering with an interior of the inlet coolant line.
