A shroud including a body comprising a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a printed circuit board assembly ('PCBA') reception unit configured to receive a PCBA unit of an electronic device, wherein the PCBA unit comprises multiple light emitting diode ('LED') units which emit multiple light emitting diode (&#x201c;LED&#x201d;) signals. The shroud can also include a plurality of ribs located on the body and configured to contact a cover for the electronic device, wherein the plurality of ribs are configured to substantially isolate each of the multiple LED signals, and wherein the body and the plurality of ribs comprise a resilient material.

Shroud for an electronic device

A heat sink including a top surface, a first bottom surface configured to thermally contact a first controller having a first height from a circuit board, and a second bottom surface configured to thermally contact a second controller having a second height from the circuit board, wherein the second height is different than the first height.

Method and system for removing heat from multiple controllers on a circuit board

A computer system including a heat sink including a peripheral portion and a middle portion, a circuit board, a first controller configured to be secured to the circuit board, one or more attachment devices configured to secure the heat sink to the circuit board at the peripheral portion of the heat sink, and a standoff component. The standoff component includes a first threaded section configured to secure the standoff component to the circuit board, and a second threaded section configured to secure the standoff component to the heat sink at the middle portion of the heat sink. The one or more attachment devices and the standoff component are configured to secure the heat sink to the circuit board and allow the heat sink to have thermal contact with the first controller.

Method and system for attachment of a heat sink to a circuit board

A fan plate system can include a fan plate and may or may not include the fan. The fan plate can include one or more surfaces. The fan plate can also include a grill configured to allow air to flow into or from a fan through the grill. The one or more surfaces can be configured to connect to a first end of an outer housing of the fan. The one or more surfaces can also provide a gap between the first end of the fan outer housing and the grill when the fan outer housing is connected to the fan plate. In some embodiments, an electronic device can include a fan plate system.
