Reversible airflow in cooling systems of electronic devices is described.
For example, an electronic device may include a reversible fan tray. The
fan tray may include symmetric mounting features that allow the fan tray
to be mounted in the electronic device in more than one orientation at
the same location within the electronic device such that one or more fans
in the fan tray either direct air into the electronic device or to pull
air from electronic device. The fan tray may further include a symmetric
arrangement of connectors that coincide with the symmetric arrangement of
mounting features to allow the fan tray to be connected to a power source
of the electronic device any of the more than one orientations. An
arrangement of electronic devices including reversible fan trays may be
configured so that inlet and outlet airflows are separated to increase
cooling efficiency of the electronic devices.
