Abstract: A multimedia data storage system including a compartmentalised drawer (20) which can be tailored to accommodate the differing cooling requirements of different device types thus allowing each device type to be mounted in any device position. A cover (20) in the form of a frame having a plurality of openings (42) fits onto the front of the drawer. A first device type includes a front bezel (22) which fills one opening in the cover and is cooled by air passing through a number of holes located along the length of the lower surface of the frame. A second device type (12) is cooled by air passing through a louvred panel (46) located in one opening in the cover. The panel includes a blanking member (62) which blocks off the frame cooling holes located in front of the second device type. Thus, for this device type, there is no air flow through the cooling holes. In addition, noise coming through the holes from inside the drawer is reduced.
