CacheFlow The CacheFlow 5000 is a high-performance dedicated computer data server for the World Wide Web. It utilizes an active cache design to shorten the time required retrieving Web objects, thus dramatically improving the performance of Web clients. It also sustains the prime cached objects in anticipation of their repeated access. Fayram Design conceived and refined the appearance for cost effective production. All parts were detailed fully in 3D CAD solids and 2D control documents for effective communication with manufacturing vendors. |

The
distinctive face "sweep" provides consistent product-line
identity as well as air flow.
Fayram Design designed all Mechanical and Appearance aspects of the machine; including conceptualizing: -Component Layout -Super-quick Service Access -Manufacturing efficiency -RFI containment -Air Flow management to meet Bellcore Level 3. -Size constrained to fit standard 19" EIA Rack and Bellcore size constraints. (13.97" (8U) tall, 22" deep, 17.4" wide) -Aesthetics to be compatible with CacheFlow product family, as originally conceived by Fayram Design. -Mechanism for Hot Swap Drives and Power Supplies. |

Drive
access via pivoting bezel.
The door mechanism features: -Removable, uses semi-custom hinges -Air Filter installed in door -Stay Bar to limit opening angle -Fab forms utilized to create a semi-sculptural shape -Secured using off-the-shelf ball-stud clips -Open Door does not invade the rack space below

Hot
swap drives.
The Hot Swap Drives feature: -Off the shelf latches -Insertion and removal force control (Drives can not be "slammed" into place) -Excellent tolerance control for ease of insertion -Low cost custom sheet metal Drive Carrier

 |
Triple hot swap power supplies.
(Secured by only 2 captive screws in custom pivoting bracket for quick access.) |
 |
Slide-out chassis. (Secured by only 2 captive screws in custom Latch-handles. Sliding the Chassis out allows immediate access to Fan Tray and Motherboard.) |
 |
Quick-remove
CPU tray for ease of access to hidden components.
(Fayram Design conceived the CPU tray to attach using only 2 captive screws, and semi-custom keyhole standoffs for quick assembly and servicing.) |
 |
Quick swap fan tray.
(Fayram Design designed to attach with only 2 captive screws. It also power-plugs in automatically when installed, for extremely quick servicing.) |
 |
2
major custom PCBs (SCSI board and power board) install with two captive screws and "keyhole"
standoffs, for quick installation and servicing.
(Fayram Design defined the mechanical shape & attachment, and the Hot-Swap engagement mechanics) |
