ABSTRACT:
A cooling baffle and fan mount apparatus suitable for rack mount computing systems is disclosed. The apparatus generally includes an upper and lower bracket configured to receive fans therebetween, the lower bracket defining mounting openings to cooperate with base openings defined in an electronics components base, and a baffle portion extending between the upper and lower brackets and defining fan openings to cooperate with the fans for airflow to pass through the baffle portion via the openings. The mounting openings may be configured for a flexible securing material, e.g., a hook and loop material, to extend therethrough from the base openings. A hook and loop tab may be secured to an underside of the upper bracket to cooperate with the hook and loop material to further secure the baffle. Each fan may provide a recessed region between two plates to receive the hook and loop material and to allow the hook and loop material to be wrapped around the fan and secured to itself.
