    Abstract: A fan system and a computing system with the fan system are disclosed. The fan system includes a fan module. The fan module includes a housing configured to retain a fan and a motor to rotate the fan. The housing includes an air inlet aperture on an air inlet side of the housing and an air outlet aperture on an air outlet side of the housing. The fan system further includes an outlet fan guard coupled to the fan module on the air outlet side of the housing. The outlet fan guard includes at least one flap rotatable between a closed position, covering the air outlet aperture of the housing, and an open position, uncovering the air outlet aperture of the housing. The outlet fan guard further includes at least one spring urging the at least one flap into the closed position.

    Abstract: An M.2 fastening system has an M.2 riser card with two module-receiving sides and a plurality of adjustment positions. The M.2 fastening system further has a pair of M.2 fasteners mounted respectively on the module-receiving sides. Each M.2 fastener has a main body defined by a top surface and a bottom surface; a module attachment extending from the top surface; and a hook extending from the bottom surface along a lateral side of the main body. The hook of one of the M.2 fasteners is received through an attachment aperture of an adjustment position. The hook is pressed-fit over the top surface of the main body of another M.2 fastener. The hook secures the M.2 riser card between the pair of M.2 fasteners in a tool-less manner.

    Abstract: A lock mechanism for securing an expansion card in a computer chassis includes an elongated structural support, a wedge, and a channel structure. The elongate structural support comprising a first and second arm extending obliquely away from each other from a central pivot point positioned between a first and second end of the elongate structural support. The wedge protrudes upwardly from the first arm at the first end of the elongated structural support. The wedge is configured to engage with a riser card component of a riser module including the expansion card and cause a rotation of the elongated structural support about the central pivot point from an unlocked to a locked position. The channel structure extends from the second arm at the second end of the elongated structural support. The channel structure is configured to secure the expansion card with the elongated structural support positioned in the locked position.
