ABSTRACT:
A computer has a chassis with a variety of electronic components mounted to it. The chassis is generally rectangular and slidably mounted within a sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure closely receives the chassis to eliminate excessive movement therebetween. The enclosure is essentially a four-sided box with an opening at either end. A front panel is attached to one of the openings. The front panel and the enclosure each contain half of a labyrinth seal which seals one end of the enclosure when the front panel is assembled to the enclosure. A similar seal is formed at the other end of the enclosure when the chassis is mounted in the enclosure. The labyrinth seals have a folded configuration which forms an interleaving arrangement.
