Abstract

A server includes an inner housing disposed within an outer housing such that a channel is defined between them. The inner housing includes a low-power electronic component and a high-power electronic component, and is sealed to protect the components. A first heat sink extends through the inner housing. Heat generated by the low-power electronic component is transferred through an inner portion of the first heat sink to an outer portion of the first heat sink. A second heat sink disposed in the channel is coupled to the high-power electronic component via heat pipes that extend through the inner housing. Heat generated by the high-power electronic component is transferred through the heat pipes to the second heat sink. A fan positioned in the channel causes air to enter the channel through a first vent, flow through the channel, and exit the channel via a second vent to remove the generated heat.
