Abstract

The present disclosure relates to part-width rack-mount computing equipment. The computing device includes a chassis having a width that is equal to or less than half the width of a standard slot of a rack. A circuit board assembly having at least one processor is coupled to the chassis in a primarily horizontal orientation. One or more rows of mass storage devices (eg, hard drives) are coupled to the chassis. At least one row of mass storage devices includes a stack of mass storage devices.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of Invention Patent Application No. 201280059784.4 with a filing date of November 30, 2012, entitled "Partial Width Rack Mount Computing Equipment". technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates to partial width rack mount computing equipment. Background technique [0003] Organizations such as online retailers, Internet service providers, search providers, financial institutions, universities, and other computing-intensive organizations often conduct computer operations from large-scale computing facilities. Such computing facilities house and house large numbers of servers, networks and computer equipment to process, store and exchange data as needed to perform the operations of the organization. Typically, a computer room of a computing facility includes many server racks. Each server rack in turn includes a number of servers and associated computing equipment. [0004] Computer systems typically include mult...
