Abstract
A system includes a first server including a first optical communication system and a first control system, and a second server including a second optical communication system and a second control system. The first and second control systems optically communicates with each other using the first and second optical communication systems, and the second control system is configured to control a temperature of the first and second servers by controlling airflow from the first server to the second server.

10. A method, comprising
deploying a first server and a second server in a network, wherein the first server includes a first optical communication system and a first control system, and the second server includes a second optical communication system and a second control system; -
transmitting, using the first control system, a detection signal to the second control system through the first optical communication system; receiving, using the first control system, an acknowledgement signal from the second control system through the first optical communication system; and controlling, using at least the second control system, a temperature of the first and second servers. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a first server including a first optical communication system and a first control system; a second server including a second optical communication system and a second control system, the first control system including a non-transitory, computer-readable medium readable by a processor of the first server and storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor configures the first control system to; transmit, using the first control system, a detection signal to the second control system through the first optical communication system; receive, using the first control system, an acknowledgement signal from the second control system through the first optical communication system; and control, using at least the second control system, a temperature of the first and second servers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
