A refrigerated server rack that may be used in a server room to cool computing equipment. The refrigerated server rack may contain a cooling unit or include a cooling inlet to receive chilled air to cool the computing equipment within the server rack. The self contained server rack has a modular design such that it may be easily integrated into mounting point within a data center. As the requirements of the data center change, server racks may be added or removed to provide scalability. As the racks are added or removed, a monitoring application discovers the server racks and equipment contained therein. The server rack and equipment may then be configured to operate within the data center computing infrastructure. Because only the interior of the self-contained server rack is cooled to maintain a proper operating environment for the computing equipment, there is no need to cool entirety of the data center.
A method for monitoring a self-contained server rack system, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions executed by a processor for monitoring a self-contained server rack system, comprising:
A system for monitoring a self-contained server rack system using a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions comprising instructions stored thereon that are executed by a processor, the system comprising:
