In an embodiment, an apparatus (e.g., for damping a motion of a drawer in a storage system) comprises a plate to pivotally attach to a first wall of a drawer, the plate comprising a pivot point about which the plate can pivot; a damped gear coupled to the plate, the damped gear having a plurality of gear teeth; and a spring to facilitate pivoting the plate about the pivot point to engage at least one of the plurality of gear teeth with at least one tooth on a rack. In some embodiments, the spring is to pivot the plate from a first configuration to an angular position relative the wall in a second configuration, wherein the at least one of the plurality of gear teeth and the at least one tooth on the rack are fully engaged with one another in both the first configuration and the second configuration.

One example vibration damping bracket provided in some embodiments of this application includes a fastening bracket, a first bracket body, a second bracket body, a first vibration damping component, and a second vibration damping component. The first bracket body is elastically connected to the fastening bracket by using the first vibration damping component. The second bracket body is elastically connected to the first bracket body by using the second vibration damping component. The first vibration damping component includes a metal elastic part configured to absorb vibration, and the second vibration damping component includes a rubber elastic part configured to absorb vibration.

A cooling assembly includes an air mover assembly including an inlet. The cooling assembly further includes an air management assembly that is coupled to the air mover assembly and that includes circular components arranged concentrically with respect to each other such that the circular components can move between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the circular components have gaps between each other. In the closed position, the circular components reduce or eliminate the gaps between each other.

A data storage system includes a chassis housing multiple data storage devices, such as hard disk drives, a compartment housing cooling fans, and an air plenum positioned between the fans and the storage devices. A multibody chambered acoustic attenuator, which may be installed in the air plenum, includes a plate part having airflow holes therethrough and may include a convex arched part having airflow holes therethrough and coupled with the plate part to form a chamber. Acoustic damping material lines an interior surface of the plate part and the interior and exterior surfaces of the arched part, and the airflow holes of the plate part and of the arched part are not aligned, such that direct acoustic emissions and reflections would contact the acoustic damping material and a circuitous airflow path is provided from the cooling fans to the storage devices, to reduce the acoustic sound pressure upon the devices.
