As
the race for
the best
AI technology heats up, manufacturers are turning to
liquid immersion cooling to stabilize
the servers of
the future. While this
technology provides far superior cooling properties compared to traditional
fans, it also brings a new set of challenges, particularly around maintenance. Server blades are packed extremely tightly in a small space and immersed in
liquid coolant, which can make it difficult to remove a single blade for
service.
During maintenance, screws can be dropped and lost in
the enclosure and hands can slip on slick metal as technicians try to lift heavy, liquid-covered hardware. These mishaps
risk costly damage to server blades, and more importantly, loss of server
uptime. In this
AI race,
the more time you spend running
the better off you are, and every second counts. That is why Southco is introducing
the RA
Rack Attach.
The RA
Rack Attach replaces traditional screws that normally
secure a server blade to a
rack. Instead, those screws are used to attach
the RA to
the blade, and an integrated pawl secures
the blade to
the rack.
This pawl retracts when a technician presses an integrated trigger in
the Rack Attach handle, providing easy release from
the rack, and a
secure grip for
the technician as they lift out
the blade in one fluid motion. No more screws slowing down maintenance, and increased
uptime for servers as they
support the tech of
the future.
While space is at a
premium in these
liquid cooled server racks,
the RA
Rack Attach barely takes up any.
The device is only 7mm thick, but its steel
construction enables it to
support 50kg of weight. Technicians get a strong, ergonomic grip with barely any space used by
the Rack Attach.
These features drastically decrease maintenance time and
risk of damage and injury to technicians. Implementing
the Southco RA
Rack Attach means lower costs, increased
uptime, and a leg up in
the race to
power the technology of
the future.
