An apparatus is disclosed for restricting air flow through an electronics enclosure. The apparatus may include a panel having at least one edge adapted to be secured to a surface of the electronics enclosure to thus place the panel in a path of a cooling air flow flowing through a cardcage portion of the enclosure. The panel may have a footprint that at least substantially fills an opening through which said cooling air flow flows through said cardcage portion of the enclosure. The panel may have a plurality of openings so that the panel reduces a volume of a cooling air flow flowing through the panel by a predetermined desired degree, and thus reduces a volume of the air flow through the cardcage to a desired volume.

System and method for restricting airflow through a portion of an electronics enclosure

A power entry module (PEM) that is used with an electronics equipment enclosure. The PEM has a housing adapted to be coupled to a shelf of the electronics equipment enclosure. The housing has at least one pair of power cable lugs accessible from an exterior of the housing for coupling the PEM to a pair of power cables associated with a power feed. The PEM also has a backplane connector for coupling the PEM to a blackplane of the electronics enclosure. A distribution network is disposed within the PEM housing and forms at least a pair of electrically isolated power distribution buses for coupling electrical power provided from the power cables to each of the power distribution branches. Each power distribution branch independently provides electrical power to at least one blade supported within the electronics equipment enclosure.

System and method for supplying power to electronics enclosures utilizing distributed DC power architectures

A gap filler member apparatus for blocking air flow through a gap existing between an edge of a first electronics board and a surface of a second electronics board that is disposed generally perpendicular to the first electronics board, where the first and second electronics boards are coupled by at least one pair of connectors and disposed within an electronics equipment enclosure, to block air flow through the gap. The apparatus has at least one rib extending therefrom, with the base portion being secureable to the surface of the second electronics board. A rib extends away from the base portion and has a height approximately equal to a height of the gap, and a length at least as long as a length of the gap so that the rib at least substantially blocks air flow through the gap.
