Abstract
A computer system comprising a plurality of electronic components disposed within a chassis. The electronic components generate a cooling load of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater. An air mover is disposed within said chassis and is operable to generate airflow of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater. An air distribution system is coupled to the air mover and is operable to distribute the airflow to the plurality of electronic components.
Claims22
A computer system, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a plurality of electronic components disposed within said chassis, wherein said plurality of electronic components generate a cooling load of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater;
- an air mover disposed within said chassis and operable to generate an airflow of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater;
- and
- an air distribution system coupled to said air mover and operable to distribute the airflow to said plurality of electronic components.
A computer system comprising:
- a chassis enclosing a first electronic component and a processor having a power of at least 120 Watts;
- an air mover disposed within said chassis and operable to generate an airflow having at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater;
- an air distribution system that directs a first portion of the airflow across the first electronic component and a second portion of the airflow across the processor.
A computer system, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a plurality of electronic components disposed within said chassis, wherein said plurality of electronic components generate a cooling load of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater;
- an air mover disposed within said chassis and operable to generate an airflow of at least 50 CFM at 2 inches of water or greater;
- and
- means for distributing the airflow to said plurality of electronic components.
