Bezel with air filtration and cable management for an information handling system
An information handling system includes a server and a bezel. The server includes multiple external ports and a mounting bracket. Multiple cables are connected to the external ports. The external ports are located within an air inlet surface of the server. The mounting bracket extends from the air inlet surface. The bezel includes a main frame and a filter. When the main frame is connected with the mounting bracket, the main frame covers the external ports and the cables. The cables extend through the cable router of the mounting bracket to exit an area between the main frame and the air inlet surface. The filter snap fits within the main frame, and provides air filtration to an airflow prior to the airflow being pulled into the server.
1. A bezel for an information handling system, the bezel comprising:
a main frame to connect with a mounting bracket of the information handling system, the main frame to cover external ports and cables extending from an air inlet surface of the information handling system;
a mounting insert located within the main frame, the mounting insert to snap fit with mounting tabs of the mounting bracket, wherein the mounting insert being snap fitted to the mounting bracket secures the bezel to the information handling system; and
a filter to snap fit within the mounting insert of the main frame, wherein the filter provides air filtration to an airflow prior to the airflow being pulled into the information handling system.
2. The bezel of claim 1 , wherein a physical communication between the bezel and the information handling system prevents airflow from leaving an area between the main frame and the air inlet surface.
3. The bezel of claim 1 , further comprising:
a notch to enable a plurality of status indicator light emitting diodes to be viewable while the bezel is connected to the information handling system.
4. The bezel of claim 1 , further comprising:
a branding badge attached to the main frame, the branding badge to identify a company associated with the bezel and the information handling system.
5. The bezel of claim 1 , wherein the filter is connected to the main frame via a toolless connection.
6. An information handling system comprising:
a server including:
a plurality of external ports, wherein each of a plurality of cables are connected to a different one of the external ports, wherein the external ports are located within an air inlet surface of the server; and
a mounting bracket including a cable router and a plurality of mounting tabs, wherein the mounting bracket extends from the air inlet surface; and
a bezel including:
a main frame to connect with the mounting bracket, the main frame to cover the external ports and the cables, wherein the cables extend through the cable router of the mounting bracket to exit an area between the main frame and the air inlet surface;
a mounting insert located within the main frame, the mounting insert to snap fit with the mounting tabs of the mounting bracket, wherein the mounting insert being snap fitted to the mounting bracket secures the bezel to the information handling system; and
a filter to snap fit within the mounting insert of the main frame, wherein the filter provides air filtration to an airflow prior to the airflow being pulled into the server.
7. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein the cable router includes brushes to enable the cables to extend through the cable router and to prevent airflow from leaving the area between the main frame and the air inlet surface via the cable router.
8. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein the cable router further includes a slot to enable the cables to slide into the cable router from an end of the mounting bracket.
9. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein the bezel further includes a notch to enable a plurality of status indicator light emitting diodes to be viewable while the bezel is connected to the server.
10. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein the air inlet surface of the server faces a cold aisle of a server system.
11. The information handling system of claim 6 , wherein the bezel further includes a branding badge attached to the main frame, the branding badge to identify a company associated with the bezel and the server.
12. An information handling system comprising:
a server including:
a plurality of external ports, wherein each of a plurality of cables are connected to a different one of the external ports, the external ports disposed within an air inlet surface of the server; and
a mounting bracket including a cable router and a plurality of mounting tabs, the mounting bracket extending from the air inlet surface; and
a bezel including:
a main frame connected with to mounting bracket and covering the external ports and the cables, wherein the cables extend through the cable router of the mounting bracket to exit an area between the main frame and the air inlet surface, wherein the cable router includes brushes to enable the cables to extend through the cable router and to prevent airflow from leaving the area between the main frame and the air inlet surface via the cable router;
a mounting insert located within the main frame, the mounting insert to snap fit with the mounting tabs of the mounting bracket, wherein the mounting insert being snap fitted to the mounting bracket secures the bezel to the information handling system;
a filter snap fit within the mounting insert of the main frame and providing air filtration to an airflow prior to the airflow being pulled into the server; and
a notch to enable a plurality of status indicator light emitting diodes to be viewable while the bezel is connected to the server.
13. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the cable router further includes a slot to enable the cables to slide into the cable router from an end of the mounting bracket.
14. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the air inlet surface of the server faces a cold aisle of a server system.
15. The information handling system of claim 12 , wherein the bezel further includes a branding badge attached to the main frame, the branding badge to identify a company associated with the bezel and the server.
