DescriptionLenovo has been delivering solutions based on liquid-cooling since 2012 and installed the first x86-based warm-water (50°C intake) cooled cluster at Leibniz-Rechenzentrum (LRZ) in Munich, Germany. The latest generation of technology based on direct to node (DTN) liquid cooling, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 that directly cool the CPUs (up to 240W), IO, RAM, HDDs and voltage regulators. Another liquid-cooling based approach Lenovo uses is a novel heat-sink which uses water to move heat away from a processor via a hermetically sealed heat pipe located inside a wide rear heat spreader. This Thermal Transfer Module (TTM) allows for servers to run processors up to 205W in traditional dense form-factor. Finally, Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RHDX) extract server heat from the exhaust air before entering the datacenter through liquid passing through the rear rack door. These three technologies make up the Lenovo Neptune family of liquid-cooled solutions.
