Abstract:
In some implementations, cooling fans can be mounted in a server chassis using a multi-level vibration dampening mechanism to reduce the transmission of fan vibrations to the server chassis. For example, a plurality of cooling fans can be housed within a plurality of fan cages. The plurality of fan cages can be mounted to a cooling fan tray. The cooling fan tray can be mounted to the chassis. For example, the mountings used to attach the fan cages to the tray and the tray to the chassis can include resilient vibration dampers. Thus, the vibrations generated by the cooling fans can be more effectively reduced and operation of vibration sensitive server components can be improved.
