Faceplates with filters
Examples herein relate to faceplates with filters. In some examples, an apparatus can include a faceplate, where the faceplate includes a plurality of perforations through a thickness of the faceplate, a filter attached to the faceplate, and a magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force between the faceplate and the filter such that the filter is magnetically attached to the faceplate.
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a faceplate, wherein:
the faceplate includes a plurality of perforations through a thickness of the faceplate, the plurality of perforations including a first set of perforations and a second set of perforations; and
the first set of perforations include a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the second set of perforations;
a filter attached to the faceplate, the filter including guide pins that are colored and have a particular diameter to align the filter with the first set of perforations, wherein the guide pins are color coded to indicate a particular filter type of the filter attached to the faceplate; and
a magnet to generate a magnetic attraction force between the faceplate and the filter such that the filter is magnetically attached to the faceplate.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the filter is removable from the faceplate.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein guide pins of the filter protrude through the first set of perforations of the plurality of perforations of the faceplate.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the guide pins protrude through the first set of perforations of the plurality of perforations of the faceplate by a distance equal to the thickness of the faceplate such that an end surface of the guide pins are adjacent to a front surface of the faceplate.
5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the guide pins protrude through the first set of perforations of the plurality of perforations of the faceplate by a distance less than the thickness of the faceplate such an end surface of the guide pins are recessed from a front surface of the faceplate.
6. A system, comprising:
a faceplate including a plurality of perforations through the faceplate, wherein the plurality of perforations include a first set of perforations and a second set of perforations, the first set of perforations having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the second set of perforations;
a filter including a magnet and guide pins that are colored, wherein:
the guide pins include a diameter to align the filter with the first set of perforations;
the guide pins are color coded to indicate a particular filter type of the filter; and
the filter is magnetically attached to the faceplate via the magnet; and
a frame, wherein the faceplate is magnetically attached to the frame via a magnet of the frame.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first set of perforations of the plurality of perforations receive the guide pins of the filter to mechanically attach the filter to the faceplate.
8. A computing device, comprising:
a chassis;
a faceplate including a plurality of perforations through the faceplate, wherein the plurality of perforations include a first set of perforations and a second set of perforations, the first set of perforations having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the second set of perforations;
a filter including guide pins that are colored and a magnet and attached to and removable from the faceplate, wherein:
the guide pins include a diameter to align the filter with the first set of perforations such that the filter is mechanically attached to the faceplate via the guide pins of the filter;
the guide pins are color coded to indicate a particular filter type of the filter; and
the filter is magnetically attached to the faceplate via the magnet; and
a frame attached to the chassis of the computing device, wherein the faceplate is magnetically attached to the frame via a magnet of the frame and is removable from the frame.
9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the filter is attached to the faceplate at a particular location on the faceplate that corresponds to a location of an air intake of the computing device such that the filter prevents particulate matter from entering the computing device via the air intake.
10. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the faceplate includes a material that is magnetically attractive such that:
the magnet of the filter is magnetically attracted to the material of the faceplate; and
the magnet of the frame is magnetically attracted to the material of the faceplate.
11. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the guide pins are color coded to indicate the computing device includes the filter.
12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the frame is mechanically attached to the chassis of the computing device.
