Abstract: An input/output module (IOM) for use within a network storage system mounted within a rack enclosure. The IOM includes a switching component configured to provide top-of-rack (TOR) switching for data to be routed from input connectors to data storage devices within the rack enclosure. The IOM also includes a protocol interface configured to convert a protocol of the data from an input data protocol (e.g., Ethernet, Fibre Channel or InfiniBand™) to a protocol for use with the storage devices (e.g., nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) and Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe)). Among other features, the IOM allows switching to be dis-aggregated from a TOR switch and distributed throughout the data network of the rack.

Abstract: According to an aspect a bezel-mounted acoustic filter is provided for use with rack rail-mounted chassis. A rack-mount component has a front side and a back side and includes electronics in the component. A fan is configured to draw air through the front side and across the electronics. An acoustic filter is at the front side and positioned so that that the fan draws the air through the acoustic filter to the fan.
