Problems solved by technology

This means that although the bandwidth of a server rack can be increased by increasing the number of cable ports, there can be a port density problem where the amount of bandwidth increase is still limited by the limited number of cable ports that can be physically realized

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Structure overview

[0030] According to some embodiments disclosed herein, EHF communication devices that convert between extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic signals and electrical data signals may replace or reduce the use of The use of cables to establish communication links between components, thereby overcoming or reducing cable problems, such as those discussed above. A server rack system may include one or more rack mounts, each of which may be a server. For purposes of describing a particular embodiment and for convenience, the term "rack mount" and the term "server" are used interchangeably herein. However, rack-mounted devices are not limited to servers, and may include any devices. As an example, a server may include a chassis and one or more EHF communication devices along one or more surfaces of the chassis. The server may include computing devices, storage devices, switching devices, communication devices, etc., and may be configured to be ...

Abstract

A computing device using extremely high frequency electromagnetic communication is disclosed. A system, such as a server rack, includes rack mountable devices that communicate using one or more extremely high frequency (EHF) communication devices. A rack mountable device includes a rack mountable chassis including multiple sides, and a circuit board along a side of the rack mountable chassis, thecircuit board having a surface. The EHF communication devices are positioned along the side of the rack mountable chassis and attached to the surface of the circuit board. Each of the EHF communication devices is configured to convert between an EHF electromagnetic signal and an electrical data signal. The EHF communication devices form EHF communication channels with other EHF communication devices in other rack mountable devices, or in the server rack to provide high bandwidth data transfer utilizing space on the sides of the rack mountable device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computing devices using extremely high frequency electromagnetic communications. Background technique [0002] One problem known to plague data centers is cabling. For example, the term "spaghetti cabling" is used to refer to the messy cabling mess that is often found protruding from the back panels of server racks at data centers. Spaghetti cabling can be the result of inexperience, lack of foresight, or laziness on the part of the people tasked with installing the server, and often results in poor cooling due to obstructed airflow and a maintenance nightmare. While spaghetti cabling can be prevented or at least mitigated by shortening, bundling and labeling cables, the use of cables themselves can be the limiting factor in the scalability of server racks. [0003] For example, cable ports for cable connections typically have dimensions that conform to widely used standards and thus may not be easily changed. Becaus...
