Fan silencer module

1. A device comprising:

a housing having a first end of the housing, a second end of the housing, and an interior surface between the first end of the housing and the second end of the housing;

acoustic absorbing material disposed on the interior surface;

a honeycomb air flow director disposed at the second end of the housing;

an electromagnetic interference gasket surrounding an outer edge of the honeycomb air flow director;

a fan module, wherein at least a portion of the electromagnetic interference gasket is sandwiched between the housing and the fan module; and

a first latch and a second latch disposed on opposing sides of the housing, wherein a free end of each of the first latch and of the second latch is disposed inside an interior space of the housing,

wherein the acoustic absorbing material extends from the first end of the housing to the second end of the housing and includes a cutout for each of the first latch and the second latch.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the acoustic absorbing material extends, on upper and lower interior surfaces of the housing, between the first end of the housing and the second end of the housing.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first latch and the second latch are configured to engage with a rack-mounted device.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the first end of the housing extends to a distal free end of each of the first latch and the second latch.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a handle disposed toward the first end of the housing.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the first end of the housing extends to an end of the handle furthest from the second end of the housing.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the handle is disposed between the first latch and the second latch.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is comprised of plastic.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing is comprised of metal.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the electromagnetic interference gasket is at least as deep as a depth of the honeycomb air flow director.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first end of the housing defines a plane that comprises an end surface of the first end of the housing, and

wherein the free end of each of the first latch and of the second latch contacts the plane.

12. A device comprising:

a housing having a first end of the housing, a second end of the housing, and an interior surface of the housing between the first end of the housing and the second end of the housing;

acoustic absorbing material disposed on the interior surface of the housing;

a honeycomb air flow director disposed at the second end of the housing;

an electromagnetic interference gasket surrounding an outer edge of the honeycomb air flow director;

a fan module, wherein at least a portion of the electromagnetic interference gasket is sandwiched between the housing and the fan module; and

at least one latch configured to engage with a chassis,

wherein the acoustic absorbing material disposed on the interior surface of the housing extends from the first end of the housing to the second end of the housing on upper and lower interior surfaces of the housing and includes a cutout to accommodate the at least one latch, and

wherein a free end of the at least one latch is disposed inside an interior space of the housing.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein a depth of the electromagnetic interference gasket is at least as deep as a depth of the honeycomb air flow director.

14. The device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one latch comprises a first latch and a second latch disposed on opposing sides of the housing.

15. The device of claim 12 , wherein the first end of the housing extends to a distal free end of the at least one latch.

16. The device of claim 12 , further comprising a handle disposed toward the first end of the housing.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the first end of the housing extends to a side of the handle furthest from the second end of the housing.

18. A method comprising:

disposing acoustic absorbing material on an interior surface of a housing of a fan silencer module, the housing including a first latch and a second latch disposed on opposing sides of the housing, wherein a free end of each of the first latch and of the second latch is disposed inside an interior space of the housing, and the acoustic absorbing material extending from a first end of the housing to a second end of the housing on upper and lower interior surfaces of the housing and including a cutout for each of the first latch and the second latch;

attaching a honeycomb air flow director to the housing of the fan silencer module; and

attaching an electromagnetic interference gasket that surrounds an outer edge of the honeycomb air flow director; and

sandwiching at least a portion of the electromagnetic interference gasket between the housing and a fan module.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein a first end of the housing extends to a distal free end of each of the first latch and the second latch.

20. The method of claim 18 , further comprising attaching a handle to the housing that extends toward the first end of the housing, wherein the first end of the housing extends to a distal end of the handle opposite the second end of the housing.
