Nvidia patents server tray that shuts down safely when pulled out
Nvidia describes a server tray equipped with a sensor that detects when a power supply is being removed. Once this specific action is detected, a controller circuit triggers a controlled power-down sequence for the entire tray.
In the filing’s own words
A server tray is provided that includes a sensing element and a controller circuit. The sensing element is configured to detect initiation of a power supply removal. The controller circuit is configured to initiate a controlled power down sequence for the server tray responsive to a defined eject state being detected by the sensing element.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A server tray comprising: a sensing element configured to detect initiation of a power supply removal; and a controller circuit configured to initiate a controlled power down sequence for the server tray responsive to a defined eject state being detected by the sensing element.
