According to one embodiment, a battery backup unit (BBU) with a louver design includes a container, a battery module having one or more battery cells, a first louver at a frontend of the container, a second louver at a backend of the container, and a control mechanism that is coupled to both the first and second louvers and is configured to open and close the louvers. Also, the battery module and the control mechanism are disposed within the container. In another embodiment, a BBU shelf with a similar louver design that includes one or more battery modules may be implemented within an electronic rack.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a fixing unit, a heating portion and a removal unit to remove a particulate dust generated due to vaporization of a parting agent by heat in the fixing unit. The removal unit includes a sheet-like filter provided with a base layer and a collecting layer laminated on the base layer for collecting dust. The removal unit includes a holding unit to hold the filter in a cylindrical shape with the base layer outside and the collecting layer inside. The removal unit includes a fan connected to one of opening end sides of the filter held in the cylindrical shape and generates an air flow inside of the cylindrical shape which causes air passing from outside of the filter to inside to flow toward the one of the opening end sides.

A fan assembly includes a socket to receive a fan module, a fan flap coupled to a first side wall of the socket, and an anti-reflow device coupled to a second side wall of the socket. The fan flap moves in a curved path between a first position and a second position. The anti-reflow device has an attachment feature, an embossed feature, and a stopping feature. The attachment feature attaches the anti-reflow device to the second side wall. The embossed feature extends through a first aperture in the second side wall. The stopping feature extends through a second aperture in the second side wall and contacts the fan flap. When the fan module is removed, the stopping feature retains the fan flap in the first position to block the socket and prevent air from reflowing through the socket.

In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a protection mode at a network device having a protective cover installed to filter airflow entering a network device, reducing one or more of a fan speed, processing functions, or power at the network device, exiting the protection mode upon removal of the protective cover from the network device, and increasing one or more of the fan speed, the processing functions, or the power to resume normal operation at the network device.

An air filtration panel is used in an information handling system (IHS) rack within a modular data center. The air filtration panel includes an air filter and a filter frame. The filter frame has a lateral width at least as wide as a transverse opening in a four-post rack. The four-post rack has left and right flanges respectively coupled to a pair of posts of the four-post rack. Each of the left and right flanges has vertically aligned holes. The filter frame includes a channel that receives and contains an outer edge of the air filter. The filter frame left and right surfaces each having fastener through-holes spaced to align with and mount to respective holes in the corresponding one of the left and right flanges of the four-post rack.

A louver assembly for removable connection to a server cabinet, the louver assembly including at least one removable louver system and each louver system including a louver frame having an opening, a plurality of louvers removably connected to the louver frame and extending across the opening of the louver frame and at least one connector for removably attaching the removable louver system to the server cabinet. The louvers may be adjustable to more efficiently move air toward an inlet of an HVAC system or from an exhaust of the HVAC system to the server cabinet.

A cooling electronic cabinet assembly includes a cabinet that has a plurality of storage compartments that is each defined within an interior of the cabinet to store an electronic device. The cabinet has a plurality of air holes each being integrated into the cabinet. A plurality of blowers is each coupled to the cabinet and each of the blowers is aligned with a respective air hole. Each of the blowers urges air in a first direction when the blowers are turned on to urge the air over the electronic devices in the cabinet for cooling the electronic devices. A plurality of filter housings is each coupled to the cabinet and each of the filter housings is aligned with a respective one of the air holes. A plurality of filters is each of the filters is removably insertable into a respective one of the filter housings to filter particles from the air is blown through the filters.

An optical engine module is adapted to a projection apparatus. The optical engine module includes an optical engine housing, a first optical element and a heat dissipation assembly. The optical engine housing has a first vent and a second vent. The first optical element is disposed in the optical engine housing and adjacent to the first vent. The heat dissipation assembly is disposed outside the optical engine housing and adapted to generate airflow flowing through the first vent, the first optical element and the second vent. The heat dissipation assembly includes a fan and an air duct, in which the air duct is connected between the first vent and the fan. A projection apparatus having the optical engine module is also provided.
