Abstract
A rack mountable 1U storage unit includes a plurality of memory modules arranged in two groups. The storage unit also has control circuitry. The memory modules have a dedicated exhaust channel to draw heat away from the memory modules. The exhaust channel for the memory modules is disposed over and is physically separated from the exhaust channel for the control circuitry. The storage unit can accommodate up to 42 memory modules due to a unique method of placing the individual memory modules.
