Abstract
A computer includes a chassis and a motherboard mounted in the chassis. A baseplate is mounted adjacent the motherboard. A plurality of dividers are mounted on the baseplate and extend therefrom. The dividers are substantially equally spaced apart in a substantially parallel relationship. The baseplate includes a first substantially planar section and a second substantially planar section. The first and second planar sections extend along respective first and second planes. The first plane is spaced apart from the second plane. A ventilated ramp extends between the first and second planar sections. The ramp directs an airflow path from a first side of the first planar section to a second side of the second planar section.
