Abstract
An example provides an apparatus including a shielding panel in spaced relation to a substrate such that a heat sink mounted on the substrate protrudes through an opening in the shielding panel. A first airflow path may be provided between the substrate and a first side of the shielding panel, and a second airflow path may be provided on a second side of the shielding panel across a portion of the heat sink protruding through the opening.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a shielding panel having an opening;
- and
- a substrate having a heat sink mounted thereon, the substrate in spaced relation to the shielding panel to provide a first airflow path between the substrate and a first side of the shielding panel, and a second airflow path on a second side of the shielding panel across a portion of the heat sink protruding through the opening, wherein the substrate includes an electronic component, wherein the shielding panel is to obstruct viewing of the electronic component through a ventilation inlet and a ventilation outlet of the apparatus.
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing including a ventilation inlet and a ventilation outlet;
- and
- a shielding panel between the ventilation inlet and the ventilation outlet, and in spaced relation to an electronic component housed within the housing, wherein a heat sink coupled to the electronic component protrudes through an opening in the shielding panel, wherein the shielding panel is to obstruct viewing of the electronic component through the ventilation inlet and the ventilation outlet.
A system comprising:
- an information technology module;
- and
- a network switch to interconnect the information technology module with at least one other information technology module of the system, the network switch including:
- a shielding panel having an opening;
- and
- a substrate having a heat sink mounted thereon, the substrate in spaced relation to the shielding panel to provide a first airflow path between the substrate and a first side of the shielding panel, and a second airflow path on a second side of the shielding panel across a portion of the heat sink protruding through the opening, wherein the substrate includes an electronic component, wherein the shielding panel is to obstruct viewing of the electronic component through a ventilation inlet and a ventilation outlet of the network switch.
