Methods, systems, and devices for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer-implemented services. To provide the computer-implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate within certain thermal dissipation requirements. To regulate the temperature of the hardware components, a fan may circulate air through the data processing system when the temperatures fall outside the thermal dissipation requirements. To regulate the temperature of the hardware components more efficiently, higher air flow rates may be desired. To increase air flow rates, a three-dimensional ventilation port may be implemented to de-constrict air flow when air enters or exits the data processing system.

System and method for improving rate of air flow through data processing systems

Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may provide computer implemented services. To provide the computer implemented services, hardware components of the data processing system may need to operate in predetermined manners. To manage the operation of the hardware components, the data processing system may cool them when their temperatures fall outside of thermal operating ranges. To facilitate cooling, fans may be densely packed and arranged in a manner the occupies a majority of the space in a stack up. At least one side of the fans may be exposed and may not be covered.

System and method for managing component positioning and orientation in data processing systems

Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the quantity of hardware resources available for providing the computer implemented services may be modified. The quantity of hardware resources may be modified by adding removable cards to a host system. The host system may, while the added removable cards are cold, selectively warm the removable cards through conduction heating to retain their temperatures within operating temperature ranges.

System and method for thermal management of removable components

An air mover assembly may include an air mover comprising a body and a cable extending from the body and one or more air mover holders mechanically coupled to the body. The one or more air mover holders may comprise a plurality of cable maintenance features and a keying feature. The plurality of cable maintenance features may include a first cable maintenance feature configured to maintain the cable in a first configuration of the air mover in a first airflow direction and a second cable maintenance feature configured to maintain the cable in a second configuration of the air mover in a second airflow direction. The keying feature may be configured to mechanically interface with an interfering feature of a chassis when an attempt is made to improperly insert the air mover into the chassis in accordance with a proper airflow direction configuration of the chassis, in order to prevent improper insertion of the air mover into the chassis in accordance with the proper airflow direction configuration of the chassis.

Air mover direction keying for dual airflow direction information handling system

An information handling system includes a server and a bezel. The server includes multiple external ports and a mounting bracket. Multiple cables are connected to the external ports. The external ports are located within an air inlet surface of the server. The mounting bracket extends from the air inlet surface. The bezel includes a main frame and a filter. When the main frame is connected with the mounting bracket, the main frame covers the external ports and the cables. The cables extend through the cable router of the mounting bracket to exit an area between the main frame and the air inlet surface. The filter snap fits within the main frame, and provides air filtration to an airflow prior to the airflow being pulled into the server.
