SYSTEM FOR COMPUTE NODE MAINTENANCE WITH CONTINUOUS COOLING

摘要

A computing system includes a chassis, one or more backplanes coupled to the chassis. Computing devices are coupled to the one or more backplanes. The one or more backplanes include backplane openings that allow air to pass from one side of the backplane to the other side of the backplane. Air channels are formed by adjacent circuit board assemblies of the computing devices and the one or more backplanes. Channel capping elements at least partially close the air channels.

1. A computing system, comprising:
a chassis; one or more backplanes coupled to the chassis, wherein at least one of the backplanes comprises one or more backplane openings configured to allow air to pass from one side of the backplane to the other side of the backplane; a plurality of computing devices coupled to the at least one backplane, wherein at least two of the computing devices comprise a circuit board assembly and one or more processors coupled to the circuit board assembly, one or more air channels formed by two or more adjacent circuit board assemblies of the computing devices and the at least one backplane; and one or more channel capping elements configured to at least partially close at least one of the air channels formed by the circuit board assemblies of the computing devices and the at least one backplane.
