Abstract: A computer system uses a modular fan design. Multiple fan modules can be used, and identical fan modules can be used for directing air into and out of the computer system enclosure. Each fan module is hot swappable, and can be replaced quickly without the use of tools or fasteners. Optional mounting features on the fan and the computer enclosure prevent misassembly, and an optional color coding scheme aids in assembly. An optional splitting light pipe directs light from a single status-indicating source to both the front and back of the fan module.

Abstract: An electromagnetic enclosure is provided that includes an opening for allowing one or more cables to pass through. The opening is enclosed with a flexible cable shield that has an electrically conductive inner surface. To reduce electromagnetic interference, the flexible cable shield is adjustably closable to surround the one or more cables. With the present invention, shielding radiation around an opening in an enclosure and around any number of cables can be easily done.

Abstract: A spring-loaded backing plate assembly for use with a printed circuit board, an electrical connector, and a land grid array-type device. The assembly comprises a backing plate adapted to support the printed circuit board and one or more leaf springs. A retainer assembly holds the leaf springs in a preloaded state against the backing plate and transfers compressive force from the leaf springs to the printed circuit board, electrical connector, and land grid array-type device.
