Chapter 359: Test 1 of your cooling system

August 23, 2020

Looking back, Ye Qing was still telling about what happened before, completely ignoring the stream of streamlined and awesome algorithm commands she had just entered.

"Huh..." Yun Shi had breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she had encountered a computer Xiaobai. Once the hard disk self-test was started, it could not be stopped, because doing so will completely damage the hard disk. Some guilty cloud poems hurriedly had connected to another set of storage arrays.

A few minutes later, Ye Qing had finished the story.

Hearing this, Yun Shi’s eyes widened, maybe this group of foreigners apparently was looking for something. Whether metals can affect the functioning of electronic equipment and this could only be determined after being tested by professional instruments. Without any tests, this group of foreigners did these things by feeling.

The procedures should be done like this, and it was strange that their boss would not let them go.

Yun Shi really wanted to help with something, but when she thought of her current plight, she felt discouraged.

On the Caswell side, the accompanying engineers connected the computer to the server cluster. But all the rough work has been done by the Chinese people, he only needed them to could easily earn a large amount of money and Caswell only had to move their fingers on the keyboard: "The storage array has not been transferred yet, do not let me wait that long."

"Why is it anxious, is testing the data on the hard disk?" Yun Shi returned with beautiful white eyes, but she did not get used to the nostrils foreigners.

"What do you do guys?" Casswell had got angry, and the hard drive test took two or three hours. This was obviously the last step. Now they were testing the hard drive in advance, were they not delaying their time?

The computer was next to Yun Shi and Ji Ke had thought Ye Qing might be asking Yun Shi to test the hard disk.

There was special software for hard disk detection. The easiest way to start was to detect automatically.

An engineer was standing beside Caswell, and of course, he would support the boss’s decision unconditionally.

"It’s okay to let them test by themselves." An engineer gave Caswell an idea: "Instead, we can save a step and if there is a problem with the storage array in the future, we can also put the responsibility on them."

Caswell had nodded with a smile. Since the hard disk test could not be stopped, they also came to test and let these Chinese people see what was professional.

Compared to storage arrays, server hardware detection was much more complicated. The most important part was to detect the temperature of the server when it was saturated.

Electronic equipment emitted a lot of heat. Overheating would cause accelerated hardware aging, and it would also seriously slow down the system’s smooth operation and even crash.

Therefore, the thermal design of the large computer room was very important. Different servers needed different cooling systems, and in terms of distribution, those large network companies were racking their brains.

Take Google, which had the world’s largest server cluster, for the dozens of server clusters they had established around the world all of which were located near the river or the sea or in the cold climate where the penguins did not want to stay longer.

Close to the sea lake, you can directly draw cold water from the deep water to do the cooling cycle in the machine room, then the hot water is discharged into the cooling pool to cool down and then discharged into the water source.

It’s even better if the server is built-in snow and ice, a set of air exchange systems, circulating water cooling system. The temperature below the freezing point can take away a lot of heat generated by the server.

Do not underestimate the heat emitted by the server.

The heat generated by a processor can exceed 90 degrees in a few minutes if there is no fan cooling. Either the computer automatically powers down to protect the processor or the processor will be burned.

Not to mention the notebook, I don’t think there is anyone who dares to rest on the lap to play while running in summer.

The greater the power, the greater the heat generated. Not just processors, motherboards also emit heat. One server unit is equipped with eight high-power processors. It is conceivable that a server cluster covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters.

How much heat does it produce?

Not all servers can enjoy the convenience brought by this nature.

For the server to operate normally, the temperature of the computer room must be controlled between 20 and 30 degrees, and the server hardware temperature must be kept below 40 degrees.

However, most of the server clusters in the world are set up in cities, so how to design a reasonable cooling solution has become the most concerned issue for all companies.

Monster Heavy Industry’s server cooling solution was designed by itself. Casswell and his team have already observed this cooling system.

"It is useless!" This was the evaluation they gave after observation.

The farther the basement is from the ground, the warmer the winter and the cooler the summer. Obviously, they could not save money. Even in the server room, the dedicated precision air conditioner was not installed, and when Caswell had looked up at the concrete dome again. There were only cooling and exhaust ducts distinguished by different colors above. These pipes were connected to the metal frame where the cabinets were housed. Apart from this, there were no further cooling measures.

The companies that dare to do this either knew nothing about the requirements of the server room or the server room was located in the North Pole. Defects meant business opportunities.

Casswell had thought so enthusiastically that he would test it by himself and let the server soar above 60 degrees. This group of people should be obedient, even begging themselves to provide a set of the sky-high cooling system again. They were professional server architecture companies that could provide everything from programs to hardware to supporting facilities.

If you make the cooling system, you can get a reward of half a million dollars for this little talk.

"Is the cooling system ready?" Caswell gave the team a look: "Since you have performed a hard drive test, we will first perform a server temperature test in order not to waste time."

"For your sincerity, I have decided to provide you with a smart computing solution for free."

"This set of software can retrieve hardware power consumption information from our hardware information database, according to all hardware models of the server combined with the processor temperature and perform simulation calculations to obtain the total power of the computer room Heat."

"If you fill the server with an electronic thermometer, you will find that our data is no more than one degree positive or negative from the actual temperature."

"All right!"

The answer to them was come by Yun Shi. Looking at the doubtful gazes thrown by others, Yun Shi had braced herself and had added: "I mean the hard drive on my side has been tested."

"What?" With a look of a ghost on Caswell’s side, it took less than ten minutes: "The hard disk self-test takes at least an hour and a half, had you tested it?"

"The number of the hard disk in question is written on the screen. I feel uneasy. You can re-check it later." Yun Shi had turned and snorted, and her long silver-gray hair slid out a beautiful track in the air.

"I’m also a smart algorithm."

Of course, this was what Yun Shi said in his heart.

"Long-winded for a long time, it’s time for you to start." "Our cooling system is also intelligent. When the server is running and the temperature is more than 20 degrees and it will automatically intervene. You can try it."
