Abstract:
The present invention relates to a control method for the operation of a fan equipping an electronic device. A determination step detects the vertical or horizontal position of the electronic device. The fan is not started up during the powering up of the device while the device is in a vertical position. The flow of air produced by the “fireplace” effect in the device in a vertical position suffices to ensure correct ventilation. According to an improvement the device has a sensor measuring the internal temperature of the device, whatever the position of the device, the fan being started up from a determined temperature. The present invention relates also to a device implementing the method.
Abstract:
An electronic device comprises a casing, a hard disk, a housing on the casing of the electronic device intended to host the hard disk, and a stopper ensuring the holding of the hard disk in the housing. The stopper comprises a first fixation mechanism on a first end of the stopper to the casing of the electronic device, and a second fixation mechanism on a second end of the stopper to the casing of the electronic device. According to exemplary embodiments, the first fixation mechanism is a clip, the second fixation mechanism is a lock, and the stopper also comprises a hinge enabling the articulation of the stopper around its first end. According to another aspect of the invention, the device comprises a seal positioned on the stopper during the first assembly of the hard disk.
