Abstract
An airflow impedance blank may be configured to populate a slot of an information handling system and may include a housing, which may include a plurality of venting holes, and a removable airflow impedance element configured to mechanically couple to the housing and further configured to be readily exchanged for another removable airflow impedance element to adjust a venting ratio of the airflow impedance blank.
Claims20
An airflow impedance blank interchangeable with an information handling resource configured to populate a slot of an information handling system, wherein the airflow impedance bank is configured to populate the slot of the information handling system and comprises:
- a housing comprising a number of venting holes;
- and
- a removable airflow impedance element configured to couple to the housing and further configured to be readily exchanged for another removable airflow impedance element to adjust a venting ratio of the airflow impedance blank.
An information handling system comprising:
- a chassis;
- and
- an airflow impedance blank interchangeable with an information handling resource configured to populate a slot of the information handling system, wherein the airflow impedance blank is configured to populate the slot of the information handling system and comprises:
- a housing comprising a number of venting holes;
- and
- a removable airflow impedance element configured to couple to the housing and further configured to be readily exchanged for another removable airflow impedance element to adjust a venting ratio of the airflow impedance blank.
A method for forming an airflow impedance blank interchangeable with an information handling resource configured to populate a slot of an information handling system, wherein the airflow impedance blank is configured to populate the slot of the information handling system, the method comprising:
- coupling a removable airflow impedance element to a housing comprising a number of venting holes, wherein the removable airflow element is configured to be readily exchanged for another removable airflow impedance element to adjust a venting ratio of the airflow impedance blank.
