Abstract

A rack arrangement including a rack designed to be able to support several magazines that are positioned above one another, where each magazine encloses several printed boards or printed board assemblies that are situated side by side. The frontal surface of the rack arrangement coincides with the front plane of each magazine. Cassettes designed to control or guide a flow of air for cooling the printed boards is arranged between adjacent magazines at a vertical distance from one another. The magazine and/or the cassette is arranged so that, from a fully-inserted position in the rack, the magazine and/or cassette may be displaced along guides to project beyond the rack, or vice versa. A magazine and adjacent cassette may be joined together by a hinge along a horizontal edge of the front plane. When displaced, the magazine may be dropped or tilted forwardly by the hinge, thereby making the back plane accessible.
