Abstract
An assembly of chases is disposed on the exterior of a rack supporting discrete computer, DASD, communications, storage and similar electronic modules to provide input/output cable management, cooling passages to supply cooling air to each of the electronic units and a power distribution chase to manage the power distribution to the separate electronic modules. The cable management chase provides efficient storage of excess cable length to improve appearance and efficiency of electronic module installation.
