Isolated vibration structure for fan bay module and hdd cage

An isolated vibration assembly for a fan bay module, the isolated vibration assembly comprising:

• a fan bay module having a plurality of fan-receiving compartments, each compartment of the plurality of fan-receiving compartments containing a plurality of vibration isolators and being defined at least in party by
• a top assembly having a top plate and a top damping bracket, one or more of the plurality of vibration isolators being attached to a top surface of the top plate, the top damping bracket being attached to a bottom surface of the top plate,
• a base assembly having a base plate and a base damping bracket, one or more of the plurality of vibration isolators being attached to a bottom surface of the base plate, the base damping bracket being attached to a top surface of the base plate,
• a left partition assembly having a left plate and a left damping bracket, one or more of the plurality of vibration isolators being positioned between the left plate and the left damping bracket, and
• a right partition assembly having a right plate and a right damping bracket, one or more of the plurality of vibration isolators being positioned between the right plate and the right damping bracket;
• and
• a plurality of computer fans removably installed within the fan bay module, each fan of the plurality of computer fans being removably installed within a respective compartment of the plurality of fan-receiving compartments, each fan of the plurality of computer fans generating vibrations that are reduced when passing through any of the plurality of vibration isolators.

An isolated vibration assembly for a hard disk drive (HDD) cage, the isolated vibration assembly comprising:

• a HDD cage assembly having
• a HDD cage top cover,
• a HDD cage base generally parallel to and offset from the HDD cage top cover,
• a plurality of HDD cage partition assemblies mounted between the HDD cage top cover and the HDD cage base, each HDD cage partition assembly including
• a HDD right cage partition,
• a HDD left cage partition, and
• a HDD cage support bracket attached between the HDD right cage partition and the HDD left cage partition in a sandwich structural manner;
• a HDD tray top cover assembly attached to a top surface of the HDD cage top cover;
• a HDD tray bottom cover assembly attached to a bottom surface of the HDD cage base;
• a HDD tray base assembly attached to a bottom surface of the HDD tray bottom cover;
• a plurality of vibration isolators attached in an interspersed manner to one or more surfaces of at least the HDD tray top cover assembly and the HDD tray bottom cover assembly;
• and
• at least one HDD removably attached within a compartment formed within the HDD cage assembly, the HDD generating vibrations that are reduced when passing through any of the plurality of vibration isolators.
