Abstract:
Method for and apparatus were fans and cable placed at the ends at the same end of a computer rack drawer. The cable ends are located between the fans and the computing elements. The bulk length of each cable passes through the region where the fans are located. Air, and optionally EMI, sealing are provided by an elastic material near the fans. In this way cables could exit the same tailstock of the drawer where fans are located. The cable ends can receive good cooling, and the distance between the cable ends and computing elements of the drawer is not lengthened by the fan position.
