More Information
Summary:A crossflow air deflector part for directing airflow includes a front central spine, a first arcuate wall extending from the spine to a first back lateral edge of the airflow deflector, and a second arcuate wall extending from the spine to a second back lateral edge of the airflow deflector opposing the first back lateral edge. Such an airflow deflector can be implemented into a storage server, positioned between a laterally adjacent pair of data storage device (DSD) chambers and a pair of vertically stacked fans, such that the crossflow air deflector functions to direct airflow from one of the lateral DSD chambers into the lower fan and to direct airflow from the other lateral DSD chamber into the upper fan. Independent airflow control for each DSD chamber and each corresponding DSD is thereby provided.
