Abstract
Systems and methods herein are for hose management in a computing module. A rotatable support structure includes a moveable inset structure and is to support rotation movement of cooling hoses that are to cool underlying devices in the computing module, where the rotation movement is about an axis of the computing module to allow the cooling hoses to be moved away from the underlying devices of the computing module and where the movable inset structure is movable within the rotatable support structure to receive tension on the cooling hoses from being coupled to a manifold of the computing module.

A system for hose management in a computing module, comprising:
- a rotatable support structure comprising a moveable inset structure, the rotatable support structure to support rotation movement of cooling hoses that are to cool underlying devices in the computing module, wherein the rotation movement is about an axis of the computing module to allow the cooling hoses to be moved away from the underlying devices of the computing module and wherein the movable inset structure is movable within the rotatable support structure to receive tension on the cooling hoses from being coupled to a manifold of the computing module.
A rotatable support structure to support rotation movement of cooling hoses that are to cool underlying devices in a computing module, the rotatable supporting structure comprising a moveable inset structure, wherein the rotation movement is about an axis of the computing module to allow the cooling hoses to be moved away from the underlying devices of the computing module, and wherein the movable inset structure is movable with respect to the rotatable support structure to receive tension on the cooling hoses from being coupled to a manifold of the computing module.
A method for hose management in a computing module, comprising:
- providing a rotatable support structure comprising a moveable inset structure to be within the computing module, the rotatable support structure associated with cooling hoses to be coupled to a manifold of the computing module;
- allowing rotation movement for the cooling hoses using the rotatable support structure, wherein the rotation movement is about an axis of the computing module;
- allowing linear movement for the movable inset structure when the rotatable support structure is moved in the rotation movement;
- enabling, using the linear movement and the rotation movement, the cooling hoses to be moved away from underlying devices of the computing module, wherein the linear movement is caused in part by tension on the cooling hoses from being coupled to the manifold of the computing module.
A method for hose management in a computing module comprising a rotatable support structure having a moveable inset structure and associated with a mounting bracket supporting distal ends of cooling hoses against the computing module, the method comprising:
- removing the mounting bracket;
- and
- lifting the rotatable support structure to cause rotation movement of the cooling hoses, wherein the rotation movement is about an axis of the computing module to allow the cooling hoses to be moved away from underlying devices of the computing module and wherein the movable inset structure is movable within the rotatable support structure to receive tension on the cooling hoses from being coupled to a manifold of the computing module, wherein proximal ends of the cooling hoses are coupled to a manifold of the computing module.
