Abstract
The present invention provides for cooling a plurality of racked electronic devices having a first electronic device having at least one cooling vent at a first end and a plurality of cooling holes at a top, each of the cooling vents having a cooling fan, means for flowing air through the cooling vent, means for outputting the air flow through a plurality of cooling holes on the top of the first electronic device. The present invention further provides for a second electronic device having a plurality of heat sink fins on the bottom. The bottom of the second electronic device coupled to the top of said first electronic device, means for aligning the plurality of cooling holes under the plurality of heat sink fins, and means for outputting the air through an output of the heat sink fins.
