Patent ID: 11925003
Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. An information handling system, comprising:
a cabinet housing a plurality of computing devices;
the plurality of computing devices, wherein each of the computing devices comprises:
a heat dissipation component (HDC);
a heating or cooling apparatus (HCA), wherein the HCA comprises a heating or cooling component (HCC), wherein the HCC is affixed to a first surface of the HDC;

a resistive heater and a cooler,
wherein the resistive heater is affixed to a second surface of the HDC, wherein the resistive heater is made of silicon rubber or polyimide film,
wherein the cooler is affixed to a third surface of the HDC, wherein the cooler is made of the silicon rubber or the polyimide film; and

a printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the PCB comprises a PCB component, wherein the HDC is affixed to the PCB component and configured to heat or cool the PCB component,
wherein, when a first current temperature of the PCB component is below a first threshold, the HCC and the resistive heater are powered to heat the HDC and the PCB component, wherein the HCC is powered along a first direction to heat the HDC and the PCB component,
wherein, when a second current temperature of the PCB component is above a second threshold, the HCC and the cooler are powered to cool the HDC and the PCB component, wherein the HCC is powered along a second direction to cool the HDC and the PCB component, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.
