Abstract

An air guiding device is mounted on a main board. The air guiding device and the main board cooperatively form an air passage therebetween for allowing cooling air to pass therethrough. The air passage includes an inlet at a first end of the air guiding device, a first outlet at an opposite second end of the air guiding device, and a second outlet. The air guiding device includes a top wall, two sidewalls, and a shielding assembly. The top wall includes the second outlet therein at an intermediate portion thereof. The second outlet opens toward the second end. The sidewalls extend downwardly from opposite sides of the top wall. The shielding assembly is positioned on the top wall for regulating a size of the second outlet.
