摘要： A data storage system has a first set of storage devices, a second set of storage devices, and a controller. The controller is arranged to (i) activate a first set of storage devices and deactivate a second set of storage devices prior to an amount of storage capacity currently used in the data storage system reaching a predefined storage capacity threshold of the data storage system. The controller is further arranged to (i) monitor the amount of storage capacity currently used in the data storage system in view of the predefined storage capacity threshold, and (ii) maintain activation of the first set of storage devices and automatically activate the second set of storage devices in response to the amount of storage capacity currently used in the data storage system reaching the predefined storage capacity threshold.

摘要： Described are seismic-resistant equipment cabinets and door latches for enabling a hinged door to remain attached to the cabinet during a seismic event of a particular intensity. The door has a latch disposed along one edge of the door. The latch includes a latch-keeper receptacle and a latching bolt disposed in the latch-keeper receptacle. The latching bolt is slideable between a latched and an unlatched position. The frame has a latch keeper assembly attached to an edge thereof. The latch keeper assembly is positioned to enter the latch-keeper receptacle when the door latches to the frame. The latch keeper assembly includes a protruding member having a tapered edge and a latching-bolt aperture to receive the latching bolt when in the latched position. The tapered edge establishes a close fit by the latch keeper assembly within the latch receptacle to limit relative motion therebetween during a seismic event.

摘要： A cabinet having an aperture passing through a surface thereof. A fan is mounted over the aperture in the cabinet. The fan is adapted to produce a flow of air through the interior of the cabinet when operating properly to exhaust such flow of air externally of the cabinet. A resilient membrane is mounted to said surface of said cabinet. The resilient membrane has formed therein: a plurality of slits extending radially from a center of a region of the membrane. The slits are spaced about the periphery of the aperture to form a plurality of flaps in the membrane. The flaps are configured to pivot from a nominal position outwardly from the surface of the cabinet from the flow of air produced by the fan when the fan is operating properly and to return to the nominal position when the fan is operating improperly to inhibit air externally of the cabinet from entering into the interior. The fans have a hub and a grate. The membrane has an aperture formed therein. The aperture is at the center of the region. The aperture in the membrane is disposed over the hub and the flaps are disposed over the grate when the fan is operating improperly. With such an arrangement, the mass momentum of the air causes the flap (i.e., a check valve) material to deflect outward and open a path for the air to escape. The air can continue to exhaust from the fan while the fan is operating; but, if the fan fails and stops operating, the flap will collapse and seal over the aperture thereby inhibiting air leakage into the cabinet. Further, the flap also serves as a visual indicator, by its "closed" position, to indicate whether or not the fan is operating.

摘要： A data storage subsystem is configured to mount within a rack mount cabinet. The data storage subsystem includes a housing configured to mount to a set of vertical rails of the rack mount cabinet, a set of circuit boards configured to install in a vertically aligned manner within the housing to define a set of vertically oriented channels within a central space defined by the set of vertical rails of the rack mount cabinet, and a fan assembly configured to mount to the set of vertical rails in a position above the housing to generate a vertical air stream through the set of vertically oriented channels and to exhaust the vertical air stream to an external location above the rack mount cabinet. The vertical air stream enables robust heat removal from the set of circuit boards even if the rack mount cabinet does not reside in a cold-isle environment.

摘要： The invention is directed to techniques for cooling a disk drive using a louver to direct air from an air stream toward the disk drive. One arrangement is directed to a storage system which includes a cabinet assembly, and a fan assembly that provides an air stream through the cabinet assembly. The storage system further includes a disk drive assembly that fastens to the cabinet assembly. The disk drive assembly includes (i) a disk drive that stores and retrieves computerized data, and (ii) a support member that supports the disk drive. The support member defines an input louver that redirects air from the air stream toward the disk drive of the disk drive assembly. This arrangement enables forced convection air to adequately cool the disk drive thus reducing disk drive operating temperature and lowering the disk drive failure rate. This lowering of the failure rate translates into improved field reliability and lower repair costs. In one arrangement, the support member includes highly stiff material (e.g., sheet metal) which provides adequate stiffness to support the disk drive and allows (i) high convective cooling on both sides of the disk drive and (ii) low air impedance (i.e., pressure drop). In one arrangement, a louvered side of the support member directs air over a disk spindle bearing of the disk drive which is a substantial source of heat. In one arrangement, the support member acts as a cover to protect circuit board components against inadvertent handling that could damage the components.
