Abstract

A liquid cooled planer including: one or more computing components mounted on the planer, wherein at least one or more of the computing components is liquid cooled; one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer; and one or more convective cooling components mounted on the planer, wherein the convective cooling components are removable from the planer without removing the conductive cooling components from the planer.

Claims (23)

1 . A liquid cooled planer comprising:

one or more computing components mounted on the planer, wherein at least one or more of the computing components is liquid cooled;

one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer; and

one or more convective cooling components mounted on the planer, wherein the convective cooling components are removable from the planer without removing the conductive cooling components from the planer.

2 . The liquid cooled planer of claim 1 wherein the one or more computing components includes a computer processor.

3 . The liquid cooled planer of claim 1 wherein the one or more computing components includes a dual in-line memory module (‘DIMM’).

4 . The liquid cooled planer of claim 1 wherein the one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer includes a cold plate.

5 . The liquid cooled planer of claim 1 wherein the one or more convective cooling components mounted on the planer includes a water carrying pipe.

6 . The liquid cooled planer of claim 5 wherein the water carrying pipe is removeably attached to a cold plate such that the water carrying pipe can be detached from the cold plate without removing the cold plate from the planer.

7 . A liquid cooled server, the liquid cooled server including a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, and a liquid cooled planer comprising:

one or more computing components mounted on the planer, wherein at least one or more of the computing components is liquid cooled;

one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer; and

one or more convective cooling components mounted on the planer, wherein the convective cooling components are removable from the planer without removing the conductive cooling components from the planer.

8 . The liquid cooled server of claim 7 wherein the one or more computing components includes a dual in-line memory module (‘DIMM’).

9 . The liquid cooled server of claim 7 wherein the one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer includes a cold plate.

10 . The liquid cooled server of claim 7 wherein the one or more convective cooling components mounted on the planer includes a water carrying pipe.

11 . The liquid cooled server of claim 7 wherein the water carrying pipe is removeably attached to a cold plate such that the water carrying pipe can be detached from the cold plate without removing the cold plate from the planer.

12 . A method of testing a liquid cooled server, the liquid cooled server including a planer that includes one or more liquid cooled computing components and one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer, the method comprising:

performing, by a testing module, one or more test operations on the liquid cooled server, including performing one or more test operations on the liquid cooled computing components mounted on the planer, wherein the planer is configured to support one or more convective cooling components and wherein no convective cooling component is mounted on the planer during performance of the one or more test operations.

13 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more conductive cooling components are configured to remove heat during execution of the test operations on the liquid cooled computing components mounted on the planer.

14 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more conductive cooling components mounted on the planer includes a cold plate.

15 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more computing components includes a computer processor.

16 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more computing components includes a dual in-line memory module (‘DIMM’).
