Publication number: 20180077816Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a server housing with a mounting cage for a server component. The mounting cage comprises an insertion opening for the insertion of the server component in an insertion direction. The mounting cage comprises an air opening inside the server housing on at least one side adjacent to the insertion opening. The arrangement further comprises an air guidance, which is inserted into the mounting cage, so that an air flow is limited along the insertion direction by the mounting cage. Here, air can flow out of an inner space of the server housing or flow into the inner space of the server housing. The invention further relates to an air guidance for such an arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2017Publication date: March 15, 2018Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventor: Gerhard Mühsam

Publication number: 20170202112Abstract: A rack server that includes a housing having a front side and a rear side. A main board arranged in the housing is provided with at least one processor, on which a heat sink is arranged. Furthermore, fans are arranged in the housing upstream of the processor with respect to the insertion direction and suck cooling air into the housing via the front side and blow towards the rear side. The rack server includes a power supply in the housing downstream of the processor with respect to the insertion direction. An air guide element is arranged in the housing between the power supply and the heat sink in such a way that cooling air supplied to the heat sink is guided past the power supply to the rear side of the housing and cooling air supplied to the power supply is not preheated by the heat sink.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Gerhard Mühsam, Reinhard Salmen, Albert Schaur, Sebastian Schilling
