Abstract:
1. An embedded computer chassis, comprising: a plurality of outer surfaces comprising a rear surface, a first side surface and a second side surface, wherein the rear surface is substantially perpendicular to the first side surface and the second side surface; a module portion, comprising: a first interspace region defined by the module portion, the first side surface and the rear surface; a second interspace region defined by the module portion, the second side surface and the rear surface; an integrated power supply air inlet unit coupled to slidably insert into the first interspace region, wherein the integrated power supply air inlet unit couples to the backplane, and wherein the integrated power supply air inlet unit further comprises: a front surface that is substantially perpendicular to the first side surface, wherein a cooling air mass is drawn into the embedded computer chassis through the front surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the front surface; and an air-moving unit coupled to slidably insert into the second interspace region, wherein the air-moving unit is coupled to draw the cooling air mass over the front module in a direction substantially parallel to the backplane, and wherein the air-moving unit is coupled to push a first portion of the cooling air mass over the rear module in a substantially opposite direction substantially parallel to the backplane.
