Card adapter modules and methods for connecting peripheral cards to computing systems are disclosed. The card adapter modules each include a card connector, a peripheral connector, and a housing that supports the card connector and peripheral connector. A peripheral card is connected to a computing system having a chassis with an input/output slot by inserting the peripheral card along a first insertion axis (y-axis) into a card connector of a card adapter module and inserting the card adapter module along a second insertion axis (x-axis) extending through the input/output slot to a platform connector of a computing platform within the computing system. The card connector is electrically connected to the peripheral connector.

Peripheral card adapter

An apparatus and method are provided for dissipating heat from an electronic component mounted in a conductive enclosure and for shielding electromagnetic radiation generated by the electronic component. A heat sink is configured to be mounted in thermal contact with the electronic component. An electrical conductor is operatively connected to the heat sink and configured to provide electrical contact between the heat sink and a surface of the conductive enclosure, thereby at least partially shielding the electromagnetic radiation generated by the electronic component.

Method and apparatus for EMI shielding

An apparatus directs airflow adjacent a circuit board to provide cooling and provides shielding for the circuit board to reduce EMI. The apparatus comprises a barrier for directing airflow and a conductive layer, electrically grounded and physical associated with the barrier, for providing shielding for the circuit board to reduce EMI.

Apparatus and method for shielding a circuit board

A heat sink is provided for transferring heat to air flowing from an upstream path. The heat sink includes a support portion and a plurality of fins extending from the support portion. The fins and the support portion together define channels at least one of which has a portion angled with respect to the upstream path of flowing air. Redirection of the flowing air from the upstream path to at least one downstream path is thereby facilitated.

Forced convection heat sink system with fluid vector control

An air mover system is provided having plural air movers each mounted along an air flow path. Each of the air movers includes means mounted for forward rotation to generate forward air flow. Each of the air movers also includes means for preventing reverse rotation of the air flow generating means, thereby reducing reverse air flow.
