The present invention provides a ventilated casing for an electronic device. The ventilated casing includes a housing which has a ventilation inlet and a ventilation outlet. The ventilated casing also includes a high speed fan for moving air from the ventilation inlet to the ventilation outlet to dissipate heat that in use is generated by electronic components positioned in the housing. The fan has a blade, a motor and an air guiding portion positioned near the blade. The ventilated casing further includes a suspension for suspending the fan relative to the housing and for damping transmission of vibration originating from the fan.

According to certain embodiments, the present technique provides a locking mechanism for coupling and uncoupling a removable component coupleable to and uncoupleable from a computing device. The exemplary locking mechanism includes a first member selectively positionable between secured and unsecured configurations of the removable component with respect to the computer device. The exemplary locking mechanism also includes a second member positionable between first and second configurations, wherein the first configuration extends the second member through the first member in the second configuration to secure the first member.

A computer system that includes a chassis and a removable module configured to be housed inside the chassis. The chassis includes an interface plate incorporated therewith. The interface plate is perforated to allow air to flow through the interface plate and along peripheral cards attached to the interface plate. The air that flows along the peripheral cards then flows through perforations in a cover that is used to secure the peripheral cards into their associated card slots. The cover then directs the air into a primary air passage used to exhaust air pulled through the chassis.

A cooling fan with an outer rotor motor supported by a fan housing. A motor housing is disposed within a conduit through the fan housing, while the outer rotor motor is disposed within the motor housing. A plurality of support members coupled between the motor housing and the fan housing enable the fan housing to support the motor housing. A hub is rotatably coupled to the outer rotor motor and has a first portion disposed within the motor housing and a second portion disposed outside of the motor housing. A plurality of blades extends radially from the second portion said hub.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method is used for determining cooling requirements of a computer system enclosure, where the enclosure includes a number of installed modules, the modules including fan modules. The method includes the steps of determining an individual impedance curve of each installed module; determining fan curves for the installed fan modules; based on the individual impedance curves, determining an overall system impedance curve for the computer system; determining desired performance requirements for the computer system; based on the desired performance requirements, determining corresponding fan curves; and choosing a fan curve that intersects the system impedance curve.
