Abstract:
A cooling assembly comprising:(a) a fan for use to direct cool air onto heat dissipating electronic components;(b) an air guiding duct-housing combination for use to house the fan and to guide cool air to the fan, the air guiding duct-housing combination having a geometric shape and being constituted with material(s) and/or structural supports that allow the cooling assembly to be mounted in a cantilever manner against a chassis wall of a chassis, overhanging the heat dissipating electronic components; and(c) an air hood coupled to the air guiding duct-housing combination to facilitate in-take of the cool air from a direction angular to the linear air guiding duct-housing combination, and the cooling assembly is mounted in said cantilever manner against the chassis wall of the chassis with a vented area of the chassis wall disposed in between the air guiding duct-housing combination and the air hood.
