Abstract

An equipment shelf includes at least one power supply unit (PSU) positioned in an upper region of the equipment shelf. The equipment shelf also includes at least one battery backup unit (BBU) positioned in a lower region of the equipment shelf. An airflow path extends through the equipment shelf between the upper region and the lower region. The airflow path separates the upper region of the equipment shelf from the lower region of the equipment shelf and thermally isolates the at least one PSU in the upper region from the at least one BBU in the lower region when air flows through the airflow path. Other example equipment shelves are also disclosed.
