Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system according to one embodiment includes a storage bay having a peripheral sidewall defining an interior dimensioned to receive a data storage device therein, at least one flap coupled to the peripheral sidewall, a retention mechanism configured to retain the at least one flap in the retracted position, and an electronic connector coupled to the retention mechanism and configured to pass control signals to the retention mechanism. The at least one flap is positionable between a retracted and deployed position. The at least one flap substantially blocks airflow through the interior of the peripheral sidewall when the at least one flap is in the deployed position, and does not significantly block airflow through the interior of the peripheral sidewall when the at least one flap is in the retracted position. The retention mechanism is electronically controllable to cause the at least one flap to move toward the deployed position.
