Abstract

A server blade chassis having at least one mechanically actuated variable air flow damper is presented. One or more variable air flow dampers are aligned with server blades in the server blade chassis. When a server blade is pressed into a slot in the server blade chassis, one or more of the variable air flow dampers are mechanically opened, to variable degrees of movement, by the server blade pressing against the variable air flow dampers.
