Abstract
A computer chassis includes a mesh screen window that dissipates heat while simultaneously shielding electromagnetic emissions. The window may also allow the interior of the computer to be viewed through the window from outside the computer. In one embodiment, a metal mesh screen is mounted over an opening on a computer chassis. The open architecture and screen window allow the components inside the computer to be cooled by a flow of air while the mesh in the screen blocks electromagnetic radiation.
Claims13
A chassis for limiting electromagnetic interference from and dissipating heat generated by computer components within a computer, the chassis comprising:
- a panel on a side of the chassis, the panel having an opening;
- and
- a mesh screen attached to the panel and covering the opening, the mesh screen suitable for blocking electromagnetic interference emissions from computer components within the chassis.
A method of limiting electromagnetic interference from and dissipating heat generated by computer components within a computer chassis having a porous window, the method comprising the steps:
- directing air flow from within the chassis out of the chassis through the window, thereby cooling the computer components;
- and
- preventing electromagnetic interference emissions generated by the computer components from escaping the chassis through the window by blocking the emissions with the window.
