Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for a server chassis. A position of the apparatus changes the airflow in the server chassis. The apparatus can be adjacent to a slot in the server chassis. The apparatus adjusts among a plurality of positions based on a height of the slot and/or a size of a computer component received at the slot. The apparatus includes a base portion and an arm. The base portion can couple with a wall of the chassis body, and the arm can include a plurality of moveable segments.
Claims16
An apparatus for changing an airflow in a server, comprising:
- a base portion having a length configured to be removably fastened to a wall of the server by a connector mechanism;
- and
- an arm corresponding to a slot in the server, the arm located adjacent to a first edge of the slot, the arm comprising a plurality of bendable segments, one of the plurality of segments being bendably attached to the base portion, each segment in the plurality of segments configured to bend independently from remaining segments in the plurality of segments,
- wherein the arm is configured to adjust among a plurality of positions based on a height of the slot and/or a computer component received in the slot.
A server, comprising:
- a chassis body;
- a plurality of slots, wherein each slot in the plurality of slots is configured to receive at least one computer component;
- an apparatus, housed in the chassis body, for controlling airflow through the chassis body, the apparatus comprising:
- a base portion having a length configured to be removably fastened to a wall of the server by a connector mechanism;
- a plurality of arms, wherein each arm in the plurality of arms corresponds to a slot in the plurality of slots and is located adjacent to a first edge of a corresponding slot, wherein each arm comprises a plurality of bendable segments, one of the plurality of segments being bendably attached to the base portion, each segment in the plurality of segments configured to bend independently from remaining segments in the plurality of segments, and wherein each arm is configured to adjust among a plurality of positions based on a height of the corresponding slot and/or a computer component received in the corresponding slot.
