Abstract

See full text

A system for use with a computing rack that prolongs operation of computing devices mounted within the rack in the event of a contaminant (e.g., liquid, debris) related event (e.g., natural disaster, activation of an overhead sprinkler system, etc.) by channeling or diverting contaminants attempting to enter a top portion of the rack towards an outer periphery of the rack before such contaminants have a chance to contact the computing devices. The disclosed system may include a plurality of channeling devices (e.g., sheets, panels, plates) secured to the rack framework at an angle thereto and generally adjacent the top of the rack (e.g., or at least above the highest location at which a computing device is to be mounted) for routing contaminants (e.g., via gravity) away from the computing devices.
