Patent Images
1. A computer device comprising:
- a chassis with a first fan and a second fan installed therein;
a cover plate attached to the chassis; and
a noise absorber attached to the cover plate, the noise absorber comprising a plurality of protrusions facing the first fan and capable of damping the air flow that impacts the cover plate;
wherein the first fan is capable of generating airflow that flows to the noise absorber to take heat away from the heat generating component in the chassis along a first direction, and the second fan is capable of generating airflow directed along a second direction to take heat out from the chassis, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

Abstract
A computer system includes a chassis with a fan installed therein, a cover plate adapted to be attached to the chassis, and a noise absorber attached to the cover plate. The fan is capable of generating an amount of air flow for cooling at least a component in the chassis. The noise absorber includes a plurality of protrusions facing the fan and capable of damping the air flow that impacts the cover plate and decreasing an acoustic noise level of the computer system.
