  • Patent number: 8305756
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to modular information handling systems configured to automatically adjust coolant flow upon insertion and/or removal of heat-releasing elements (e.g., blades). A system may comprise, for example, a chassis at least partially defining a cavity, at least one fan in fluid communication with the cavity and operable to move coolant through at least a portion of the cavity, and one or more bays. Each of the one or more bays (a) may be at least partially defined by a bay wall, (b) may be configured to receive a heat-releasing element, and/or (c) may comprise an obturator configured to conditionally block fluid communication between the bay and the chassis cavity, the fan, and/or a coolant, wherein the obturator allows fluid communication when a blade is present in the bay and blocks fluid communication when a blade is absent from the bay. A system may further comprise at least one heat-releasing element positioned in at least one of the one or more bays.

  • Publication number: 20060203447
    Abstract: A fan mounting apparatus includes a base, a fan mount which is operable to couple to the base, and a latch member pivotally coupled to the fan mount, the latch member operable to reduce vibration from a fan module and including a duct member operable to direct airflow from a fan module. The base may be mounted adjacent a heat sink to provide easy installation of a fan module adjacent the heat sink and for more efficient use of the airflow from a fan module to the heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20060203435
    Abstract: A chassis cover supporting apparatus includes a chassis having a plurality of chassis sides and including a cover support receiving member positioned between the chassis sides. A cover is operable to couple to the chassis by sliding engagement with the plurality of chassis sides. A cover support member is coupled to the cover, whereby in response to the sliding engagement of the cover with the chassis sides, the cover support member engages the cover support receiving member.
