An apparatus includes a housing capable of being mounted in a rack and a vertically oriented switch card. The vertically oriented switch card includes one or more vertically oriented application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) mounted on the vertically oriented switch card. The apparatus includes a two-dimensional arrangement of plug ports, each plug port being configured to receive a pluggable optical module. The apparatus includes a two-dimensional arrangement of channel intakes, each channel intake being positioned adjacent to at least one of the plug ports of the two dimensional arrangements of plug ports and each channel intake receives air and directs the received air towards an interior of the housing capable of being mounted in a rack. The apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) positioned forward relative to the vertically oriented switch card. The CPU is oriented vertically relative to the vertically oriented switch card.
An apparatus comprising:
The apparatus of claim 4, wherein at least one channel extends through a cut out of the vertically oriented switch card.
The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the at least one channel includes one or more structures for heat regulation in the housing.
The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the one or more structures extend the entire length of the channel.
The apparatus of claim 9, wherein each of the one or more structures comprises a fin geometry.
An apparatus comprising:
