Abstract
An electronic equipment includes an air flow control unit that controls an air flow generated by an air blow. The electronic equipment includes an expanding unit that is disposed behind the air flow control unit, includes an additional electronic circuit for an electronic circuit mounted on a main board, which are cooling targets of the air blow, and expands a function of the electronic circuit of the main board. The expanding unit has a hollow structure casing and includes the additional electronic circuit in an inside of the hollow structure casing. The air flow control unit has an opening part to allow the air flow to pass through and a blocking part to block the air flow, and supplies most of the air flow into the inside of the hollow structure casing of the expanding unit by the opening part and the blocking part, the blocking part including a vent.
