Abstract
A computer server system having a cooling mechanism, including a fan configured to cool the computer server system, wherein the computer server system includes a plurality of components, a first casing including the plurality of components and the fan, and a second casing including the fan, wherein the second casing includes a first bracket and a second bracket that latch together to enclose the fan, and wherein the second casing enclosing the fan is configured to provide complete isolation of the fan from the first casing.
Claims16
A computer server system having a cooling mechanism, comprising:
- a fan configured to cool the computer server system, wherein the computer server system includes a plurality of components;
- a first casing comprising the plurality of components and the fan;
- and
- a second casing comprising the fan, wherein the second casing comprises a first bracket and a second bracket that latch together to enclose the fan,
- wherein the second casing enclosing the fan is configured to provide complete isolation of the fan from the first casing and eliminates the transmission of vibrations generated by the fan to the plurality of components.
A computer server cooling system, comprising:
- a first casing comprising a top enclosure and a bottom enclosure, and
- a fan disposed between the top enclosure and the bottom enclosure, wherein
- the fan is enclosed in a second casing configured to completely isolate the fan from the first casing such that vibration of the fan is prevented from being transferred to the first casing,
- wherein the second casing comprises a first bracket and a second bracket that latch together to enclose the fan, and
- wherein the second casing eliminates the transmission of vibrations generated by the fan to a plurality of components in the first casing.
