Abstract
An information handling system includes multiple hard disk drives, a central processing unit (CPU) and memory complex, a graphics processing unit (GPU) and input/output (I/O) complex, multiple cooling fans, and first and second airflow vanes. The cooling fans pull in airflow through the hard disk drives and push the airflow through both the CPU and memory complex and the GPU and I/O complex. The first and second airflow vanes are located between the hard disk drives and the cooling fans. The first and second vanes are in a first configuration when the information handling system is in a CPU and memory centric configuration, and in a second configuration when the information handling system is in a GPU and I/O centric configuration.
