Abstract
An acoustical baffle includes a baffle housing, a lens, an acoustic foam, and a retaining mesh. The baffle housing includes a front panel having a channel, and first and second side panels. The first side panel is placed in physical contact with a first panel of a server chassis, and the second side panel is placed in physical contact with a second panel of the server chassis. The lens is in physical contact with the baffle housing, and fits within the channel of the front panel. The acoustic foam is in physical contact with the baffle housing, and includes an acoustic surface to absorb noise generated by cooling fans within the server chassis. The retaining mesh is in physical contact with the acoustic foam, and holds the acoustic foam within the acoustical baffle.
