Abstract
A computer subassembly is configured to be mounted within a rack along an insertion axis. The computer subassembly includes a chassis configured for insertion into and removal from the rack along the insertion axis, wherein the chassis at least partially defines an interior. An interconnect assembly is mounted within or adjacent the interior of the chassis, and the interconnect assembly is oriented along a plane that is substantially parallel to the insertion axis. At lease one circuit assembly is positioned at least partially within the interior of the chassis and is connected to the interconnect assembly. The circuit assembly is oriented in a plane substantially parallel to the insertion axis. A source of cooling air is positioned to direct cooling air through the interior of the chassis along the insertion axis.
