US 12,004,317 B2 · Computing system having a flexible filter assembly

Abstract

Example implementations relate to a computing system having a flexible filter assembly. The computing system includes a chassis having an internal volume, a pair of guide rails, a flexible filter assembly, and a plurality of first electronic components. The pair of guide rails is disposed spaced apart from each other and coupled to the chassis. The flexible filter assembly is disposed within and connected to the chassis via the pair of guide rails. The flexible filter assembly splits the internal volume into first and second volume portions. The first volume portion is located downstream relative to flow of supply air. The flexible filter assembly slides into the chassis along the pair of guide rails to detachably connect to the chassis. The flexible filter assembly cleans the supply air and directs clean air towards the plurality of first electronic components disposed in the first volume portion and coupled to the chassis.
