Abstract
A module that incorporates a chassis for enabling use of at least one smaller functional module in at least one slot of a chassis designed to mate with a larger functional module having a different standard than the smaller functional module. The module has a housing having electrical connections adapted to mate with electrical connections provided by the chassis for the larger functional module and dimensions that fit within at least one slot provided by the chassis for housing the larger functional module. The module includes at least one set of electrical connections adapted to mate with the electrical connections of the smaller functional module(s) and at least one air passage for conveying air from an opening of the chassis that provides air flow to cool the larger functional module to an area in which the smaller functional module(s) is/are situated when mated with the housing.
