  • Patent number: 10672430
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a chassis and a heat sink for use in the chassis. Disks in rows are arranged in the chassis, and the heat sink comprises an air ingress channel extending from a first end of a housing of the chassis to a side portion of the disks away from the first end; an air egress channel extending from the first end to a second end opposite to the first end, the air egress channel being spaced apart from the air ingress channel by the disks; an intermediate channel comprised of gaps between the disks and fluidically communicating the air ingress channel with the air egress channel; and a fan disposed in the air egress channel and being operable to form a negative pressure in the air egress channel.

  • Patent number: 10349550
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a guiderail for a cabinet, a chassis and a cabinet. Specifically, the present disclosure discloses a guiderail (1) used in a cabinet (100) and the corresponding chassis (2) and the cabinet (100). The guiderail (1) is mounted in the cabinet (100) and used to fix the chassis (2) which can accommodate storage processing units (3) with different dimensions. According to the present disclosure, the guiderail (1) comprises a main body part (10) and an extended part (30), wherein the main body part (10) is used to support the chassis (2) when it is inserted into the cabinet (100) along the guiderail (1); and the extended part (20) is used to fix the storage processing unit (3) extending from the chassis (2) so that storage processing units (3) of different dimensions can share the chassis (2) with the same specification.
