A method according to one embodiment may include providing a baffle assembly comprising at least one airflow control zone with an airflow resistance. The method of this embodiment may also include positioning said baffle assembly in a flow of air through a chassis. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Airflow control system

The specification discloses an apparatus comprising a cold plate having an inlet and an outlet, the cold plate being attachable to a heat source, a heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet of the heat exchanger is coupled to the inlet of the cold plate, and a hot-swappable pump module including at least one pump, the pump module being coupled to the cold plate and to the heat exchanger. The specification also discloses a process comprising cooling a heat source using a closed-loop cooling system comprising a cold plate having an inlet and an outlet, the cold plate being attachable to the heat source, a heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet of the heat exchanger is coupled to the inlet of the cold plate, and a hot-swappable pump module including at least one pump, the pump module being coupled to the cold plate and to the heat exchanger, and removing or installing the pump module while the cooling system is operating. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Liquid cooling system including hot-swappable components

A method according to one embodiment may include providing a chassis comprising at least one selectively deployable fan disposed within the chassis. The method of this embodiment may also include moving the fan from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration within the chassis and energizing the at least one fan. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Auxiliary airflow system

In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus to redistribute airflow throw slots of a chassis that houses boards. The apparatus includes at least one restriction region to limit airflow therethrough. The apparatus further includes an open region to allow airflow to pass therethrough. At least some of the airflow limited by the at least one restriction region will flow through the open region. The apparatus also includes a connection mechanism to connect to a chassis.

Airflow redistribution device

A method according to one embodiment may include providing a circuit board assembly comprising a circuit board and a rotatable knob and at least one latch coupled to the knob via a linkage. The method of this embodiment may also include moving the at least one latch to a retracted position by rotating the knob, and inserting the circuit board assembly into a chassis. The method may then include moving the latch to an extended position. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modification are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Circuit board latch system

In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus that includes a latch to connect a board to a chassis. The apparatus further includes a pull lever to control whether said latch is retracted or extended. The latch connects the board to the chassis when it is extended.
