Abstract
A keyed filler panel with removably-coupleable airflow resistive filler card assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a filler panel body. The present embodiment is further comprised of an airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body. The airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with the filler panel body without additional hardware.
Claims27
A keyed filler panel with removably-coupleable airflow resistive filler card assembly comprising:
- a filler panel body;
- and
- an airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body, said airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with said filler panel body without additional hardware.
A method for reducing uneven airflow with respect to a chassis comprising:
- a) removably-coupling an airflow resistive filler portion with said filler panel body, said airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with said filler panel body without additional hardware;
- and
- b) providing an attaching device, said attaching device adapted to enable securing said airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body to said chassis.
A keyed filler panel with removably-coupleable airflow resistive filler card assembly comprising:
- a filler panel body;
- an airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body, said airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with said filler panel body without additional hardware;
- a handle element fixedly coupled with said filler panel body, said handle element being disposed above said filler panel body in a manner which provides a grasping surface for removably coupling said filler panel body with respect to said chassis;
- a locating element coupled with said filler panel body, said locating element adapted to orient said filler panel body with respect to said chassis such that interference generating movement of said filler panel body is reduced;
- and
- a recessed portion integral with said filler panel body, said recessed portion adapted to receive an attaching device for removably coupling said filler panel body with respect to a chassis.
A keyed filler panel with removably-coupleable airflow resistive filler card assembly comprising:
- a filler panel body;
- and
- an airflow resistive filler portion removably-coupleable with said filler panel body, said airflow resistive filler portion adapted to couple with said filler panel body without additional hardware.
