Claims33
A method for controlling a chassis cooling system, the method comprising:
- creating an air flow within a chassis;
- and
- modulating at least one of the air flow and a velocity of the air flow, for a slot in the chassis.
A cooling system for a chassis, the cooling system comprising:
- at least one air mover configured to create an air flow within a chassis;
- and
- at least one baffle configured to modulate at least one of the air flow and a velocity of the air flow, for a slot in the chassis.
A cooling system for a chassis, the cooling system comprising:
- means for creating an air flow within a chassis;
- and
- means for modulating at least one of the air flow and a velocity of the air flow, for a slot in the chassis.
A method of manufacturing a cooling system, the method comprising:
- providing an air mover configured to create an air flow within a chassis;
- providing at least one baffle configured to modulate at least one of the air flow or a velocity of the air flow;
- and
- positioning the baffle such that the at least one baffle is able to modulate at least one of the air flow or the velocity of the air flow for a particular slot in the chassis.
