  • Patent number: 10015904
    Abstract: Fan trays and components thereof are described herein. In some embodiments, a removable, compact fan tray is configured to be disposed within a slot of a chassis. The fan tray can be latchably coupled to the chassis, and/or can include a light source, such as an LED operable to depict the status of the fan tray. Leads of the light source can be disposed within an sleeve operable to contain and/or insulate the leads. The fan tray can, in some embodiments, be configured to be keyed to a particular type of chassis slot, for example, a slot associated with an air flow direction.

  • Patent number: 8279601
    Abstract: Air flow ducts for improving the air flow within data processing units are described herein. In some embodiments, a duct includes an inlet portion and an outlet portion. An interior surface of the outlet portion of the duct defines, at least in part, a portion of a flow path. The duct is configured to be coupled to a printed circuit board within a data processing unit such that a first portion of a cooling fluid can flow within the flow path between the inlet portion of the duct and an electronic device coupled to the printed circuit board. An exterior surface of the outlet portion of the duct is configured to redirect a second portion of the cooling fluid to a volume within the data processing unit apart from the electronic device.
