  • Flexible service air baffle
    Patent number: 11102910
    Abstract: A baffle is provided that is usable in an information handling system. The information handling system may have a first compartment at a first elevated pressure that is higher than an ambient pressure and a second compartment at a second elevated pressure that is higher than the ambient pressure. Further, a region adjacent to the first and second compartments and in fluid communication therewith may be operable to receive a removable baffle therein. When the baffle is inserted into the region, it may be operable to maintain the region at a third elevated pressure that is higher than the ambient pressure. However, when not inserted into the region, the baffle may be foldable into a substantially flat shape.

  • Apparatus and method for controlled ejection of an open compute project module from an information handling system
    Patent number: 11073874
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a peripheral interface and a frame that is operable to receive an Open Compute Project (OCP) module. The frame includes a peripheral slot that provides an electrical communication between the OCP module and the peripheral interface when the OCP module is disposed at a first position. A lock controls the ejection of the OCP module from the first position to a second position, and disengages from the OCP module at the second position.
