A chassis and a method of manufacturing a chassis of an information handling system are disclosed. The chassis includes a carbon-fiber composite and a plurality vents of formed in the carbon-fiber composite. Each of the plurality of vents is a channel extending through the carbon-fiber composite.

Carbon-fiber chassis of an information handling system

An information handling system component contained within an information handling system housing uses the information handling system housing as at least a portion of a safety enclosure for hazardous functions of the component. A lock out device disables the hazardous function if the information handling system housing is moved relative to the component. For example, an optical disc drive laser is disabled if a Hall effect sensor in the chassis of the optical disc drive no longer senses a magnet placed in a portion of the information handling system housing used to enclose the optical disc drive.

System and method for enclosing information handling system component devices

A light sensor apparatus includes a support surface. A wall is located adjacent to and spaced apart from the support surface. A light aperture is defined by the wall. A light sensor is coupled to the support surface by an extendable member, whereby the extendable member is operable to adjust the distance between the support surface and the light aperture such that the light sensor is located adjacent the light aperture. The light sensor apparatus may be used to align an ambient light sensor on an information handling system with a light aperture defined by a cover wall on the information handling system chassis such that the light aperture can remain relatively small while still allowing the required amount of light to reach the light sensor in order for the light sensor to function.
