Abstract
A computer system comprises a chassis and first and second electronic components disposed within the chassis. The computer system also comprises a multi-direction blower module having a blower housing connected to the chassis. The blower housing comprises an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. A centrifugal blower is rotatably mounted within the blower housing. An internal wall is disposed within the blower housing and partially surrounds the blower. The airflow into the inlet is passed in thermal communication with the first electronic component. The airflow from the first outlet is passed in thermal communication with the second electronic device. The airflow from the second outlet is exhausted from the chassis.
