Abstract

An electronic apparatus comprises a housing containing a heat-generating component, and a cooling unit. The cooling unit includes a heat sink thermally connected to the heat-generating component, a first air passage for guiding air outside the housing to the heat sink and guiding air heated by heat exchange with the heat sink to the outside of the housing, and a second air passage for guiding air within the housing to the outside of the housing.
