Abstract:
1. A computer server configured to receive one or more input/output (IO) modules, the computer server comprising: a housing having an opening including a module receiving area arranged and configured to receive an IO module; a first door having an open position and a closed position, the first door dimensioned to cover at least a portion of the module receiving area when in the closed position; a second door having an open position and a closed position, the second door dimensioned to cover at least a portion of the module receiving area not covered by the first door and the second door when the first door and the second door are both in the closed position; a first closure mechanism coupled to the first door and to the housing that positions the first door relative to the receiving area and permits the first door to transition between the open position and the closed position, the first closure mechanism biasing the first door toward the closed position; and a second closure mechanism coupled to the second door and to the housing that positions the first door relative to the module receiving area and permits the second door to transition between the open position and the closed position, the second closure mechanism biasing the second door toward the closed position; wherein the first closure mechanism enables the first door and the housing that positions the first door relative to the module receiving area and to transition from the open position to the closed position when the IO module is removed from the module receiving area; the second closure mechanism enables the second door and the housing that positions the second door relative to the module receiving area and to transition from the open position to the closed position when the IO module is removed from the module receiving area; and the first door and the second door have a front surface and a back surface, the back surface opposite the front surface, and at least a portion of the front surface of the first door and the front surface of the second door contact the IO module when the IO module is within the module receiving area and the first door and the second door are in their respective open positions to provide electromagnetic interference (EFI) shielding.
