Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame and one or more heat generating elements supported by the frame. A plurality of ports are located at the front portion of the frame, and are electrically coupled to the heat generating elements. A faceplate is coupled to the front portion of the frame and includes one or more port openings to allow access to the ports and a plurality of airflow openings. Each of the airflow openings has a bottom edge aligned with the front portion of the frame and a top edge aligned with the top portion of the frame. The top edges of the airflow openings are set back a predetermined distance from the front portion of the frame.

Abstract: Various devices, systems, and methods are described herein that provide bi-directional, and even multi-directional airflow within fan systems. These fan systems can be utilized by devices such as datacenter switches to change from one direction of airflow (such as port side inlet) to another direction (such as port side exhaust). This can be done manually by having a multi-directional fan housed within an enclosure that provides access through a hatch door. The multi-directional fan can be removed and reoriented to a second direction, thus providing airflow with the same quality and pressure in multiple directions. Fan changes can also be automated through one or more interlocking rotational gears coupled to the fans within a housing, such that rotating one gear will rotate each of the fans within the housing, thus changing the direction of the airflow. By doing this, only one fan is needed to provide airflow in multiple directions.
