Abstract

A computer and a system and method of cooling the interior of the computer wherein at least two fans are disposed in the interior of the computer and are operated simultaneously. At least one horizontally extending louver is provided on each fan so that, if one of the fans fails, the flow of air through the other fan is blocked by its louver to prevent interference with the air flow through the other fan.
