## Abstract

A server includes a chassis, a motherboard, a number of data storage devices, a number of system fans, and a power supply mounted in the chassis. The system fans generate an airflow flowing through the chassis, from a front portion of the chassis to a rear portion of the chassis. The power supply includes a power fan causing an airflow directed rearwards through the front portion of the chassis to prevent a disturbance with the airflow from the system fans.
