Abstract
An equipment rack that includes a modular compute chassis, a modular processing unit located in the modular compute chassis and where the modular processing unit is configured to remove from the front of the modular compute chassis in a frontward direction, relative to the front side of the modular compute chassis, and an air mover unit located in the modular processing unit and where the air mover unit is configured to remove from a rear side of the modular processing unit in a rearward direction, relative to the front side of modular compute chassis.
Claims20
An equipment rack, comprising:
- a modular compute chassis;
- a modular processing unit disposed in the modular compute chassis, wherein the modular processing unit is configured to remove from a front side of the modular compute chassis in a frontward direction, relative to the front side of the modular compute chassis;
- and
- an air mover unit disposed in the modular processing unit, wherein the air mover unit is configured to remove from a rear side of the modular processing unit in a rearward direction, relative to the front side of modular compute chassis.
A method for removing an air mover unit, comprising:
- gaining access to a rear side of a modular processing unit, wherein the modular processing unit is disposed in a modular compute chassis;
- disengaging the air mover unit from the modular processing unit;
- and
- translating the air mover unit out of the modular processing unit, wherein the air mover unit is configured to remove from the rear side of the modular processing unit in a rearward direction, relative to a front side of modular compute chassis.
