ABSTRACT:
A containment system includes a control unit comprising a cooling system and a control panel in communication with the cooling system. The containment system also includes a containment unit in communication with the control unit for containing a plurality of electronic components. The containment unit includes a base including a damper, a plurality of sidewalls extending upwardly from the base, and a top overlying the base and having a passageway formed area. The base, the plurality of sidewalls and the top define a containment area there between for containing the plurality of electronic components. Cold air is passed from the cooling system to the base of the containment unit through the damper and into the containment area. Warm air is removed from the containment area through the passageway formed in the top thereof and back to the cooling system. The warm air removed from the containment area is cooled by the cooling system, and the control panel is adapted to be in communication with the electronic components contained in the containment area.
