Abstract:
1. A docking system, comprising: a docking fan; a docking outlet operably connected to the docking fan; the docking outlet adapted for operable connection to a computing cooling area of a computing system when the computing system is docked to the docking system; the docking outlet adapted for restricting an airflow from the docking fan to the computing cooling area and not to a computing fan area of the computing system when the computing system is docked to the docking system; and a flat partition member disposed between the computing cooling area and the computing fan area when the computing system is docked to the docking system, the flat partition member configured to block the airflow from the docking fan from passing into the computing fan area from the computing cooling area when the computing system is docked to the docking system; and a flexible partition receiving member disposed at least partially covering a partition member receiving opening in the computing system, wherein the flexible partition receiving member is configured to receive the flat partition member of the docking system when the computing system is docked to the docking system.
