Abstract
A card support assembly includes at least one support member, a plurality of printed heat generating circuit cards and at least one flow control member. The circuit cards are coupled to the support member and extend non-parallel from the support member. The plurality of cards, collectively, have a front edge longitudinally spaced from a rear edge. The at least one flow control member faces the at least one support member with the cards therebetween. The at least one flow control member is substantially imperforate from the front edge to the rear edge.
Claims42
A card support assembly comprising:
- at least one support member;
- a plurality of printed heat generating circuit cards coupled to the support member and extending non-parallel from the support member, the plurality of cards, collectively, having a front edge longitudinally spaced from a rear edge;
- and
- at least one flow control member facing the at least one support member with the cards between the at least one support member and the at least one flow control member, wherein the at least one flow control member is substantially imperforate from the front edge to the rear edge.
A computing device comprising:
- a first circuit board;
- a second circuit board connected to the first circuit board;
- a plurality of printed heat generating circuit cards coupled to the support member and extending non-parallel from the support member, the plurality of cards, collectively, having a front edge longitudinally spaced from a rear edge;
- and
- at least one flow control member facing the at least one support member with the cards between the at least one support member and the at least one flow control member, wherein the at least one flow control member is substantially imperforate from the front edge to the rear edge.
A method for assembling a card support, the method comprising:
- mounting a plurality of printed heat generating circuit cards to a support member, wherein the cards collectively have a first end edge longitudinally spaced from a second end edge;
- and
- mounting at least one flow control member proximate the plurality of cards such that the plurality of cards extend perpendicular between the support member and the at least one flow control member, wherein the at least one flow control member is substantially imperforate from the first end edge to the second end edge.
