    Abstract: A server tray assembly includes a server tray support configured to receive a server board that includes a working fluid conduit fluidly coupled to a server board connector disposed on a back plane of the server board, a back wall of the server tray support includes a fluid connector configured to form an unbiased fluid connection with the server board connector; and a locking assembly secured to at least one of a server rack or the server tray support, the locking assembly disposed opposite the fluid connector is configured to engage a portion of the server board to bias the server board toward the fluid connector to fluidly seal the unbiased fluid connection between the server board connector and the fluid connector of the server tray support.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for data center liquid cooling apparatus provisioning are described. In some aspects, such systems and methods may provision one or more data center liquid cooling apparatus, e.g., prior to such apparatus being put into service to a data center to cool data center devices, such as server trays (and more specifically, heat-generating devices such as processors, memories, voltage regulators, and other devices mounted on motherboards of the server trays). In some aspects, such liquid cooling apparatus include cold plates or evaporators that are mounted in thermal communication with the heat generating devices (in the server trays) and utilize a flow of a cooling liquid (e.g., water, glycol, refrigerant) to remove heat from the server tray (e.g., with or without a phase change of the cooling liquid).

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including an integrated circuit (IC) with a ring-shaped hot spot area. In one aspect, an IC includes a first area along an outside perimeter of a surface of the IC. The first area defines a first inner perimeter. The IC includes a second area that includes a center of the IC and that includes a first set of components. The second area defines a first outer. The IC includes a ring-shaped hot spot area between the first area and the second area. The ring-shaped hot spot area defines a ring outer perimeter that is juxtaposed with the first inner perimeter. The ring-shaped hot spot area defines a ring inner perimeter that is juxtaposed with the first outer perimeter. The ring-shaped hot spot area includes a second set of components that produce more heat than the first set of components.
