Abstract:
1. An electronic system, comprising: a first region constructed and arranged for holding a plurality of first circuit board assemblies in a parallel orientation; a second region, disposed proximate the first region, constructed and arranged for holding at least one second circuit board assembly in an orientation that is orthogonal to the plurality of first circuit board assemblies; a plurality of conductive pathways between the first region and the second region for interconnecting the plurality of first circuit board assemblies with the at least one second circuit board assembly; and an air cooling path for cooling the at least one second circuit board assembly, having a first portion substantially orthogonal to the plurality of conductive pathways, a second portion substantially orthogonal to the first portion, and a third portion substantially parallel to the first portion, wherein at least part of each at least one second circuit board assembly is disposed in the second portion of the air cooling path.
