Abstract
A riser of an information handling system having an adjustable baffle that blocks air flowing through the riser from by-passing components of an expansion card, such as a PCIe card, installed in the riser. The baffle directs the flowing air across components of the expansion card to lower the operating temperature of the expansion card by convection. In some embodiments, part of the baffle is coupled to an angled slot of the riser body and another part of the baffle is coupled to a card holder so that movement of the card holder automatically adjusts the position of the baffle to direct otherwise by-passing air toward the components of the installed expansion card.
