Abstract
Methods and structures are provided for implementing selective airflow modification. An airflow control member holder receives and retains an airflow control member having compliance characteristics allowing easy removal and changing of the airflow control member. The airflow control member holder includes retention features to facilitate mounting and removal from the system, such as mounting and removal from a printed circuit board (PCB). The airflow control member holder provides a protective function for a component, such as a depopulated component, a central processing unit (CPU) or other device.
