1. An apparatus comprising:
an air deflector to receive an airflow at a first direction and deflect the airflow in a second direction, the airflow discharged through an hot air exhaust vent of a network equipment element configured in a computing rack, wherein the air deflector is separate from the computing rack; and a rack coupling mechanism to physically locate the air deflector against the hot air exhaust vent of the network equipment element, and connect the air deflector to the computing rack, the rack coupling mechanism is adjustable to accommodate a variable lateral distance of the hot air exhaust vent from the computing rack, wherein the rack coupling mechanism comprises a pair of elongated bolts that physically mounts the air deflector against the hot air exhaust vent of the network equipment element using a pair of flanges each configured on opposing sides of the air deflector, wherein each flange comprises a plurality of equally-spaced holes into which one of a pair of elongated bolts are alternatively inserted according to a desired height of the air deflector relative to the height of the hot air exhaust vent, wherein the air deflector comprises a first vane, each of the pair of flanges physically coupled to the first vane at either end using each of a pair of sidewalls, the first vane oriented at a specified angle relative to an orientation of each of the flanges, and wherein the air deflector comprises a second vane having a pair of second flanges on either end, each second flange physically coupled to each of the pair of sidewalls such that the orientation of the second vane is parallel to the first vane. |
