Disposed at the rear of the cabinet and forming a rear wall thereof is a cooling system housing that is used for cooling the modules contained in the cabinet. Disposed within the cabinet are a plurality, e.g., four, cooling modules; a power distribution unit having a plurality, e.g., twelve, power converters; and a plurality, e.g., twenty-eight electronic modules. The number of cooling modules, power converters and electronic modules may be added or subtracted as needed or desired. The cooling modules flow cooling fluid to and/or from the power distribution unit and/or to the plurality of electronic modules. The power distribution unit supplies power to the plurality of electronic modules. The electronic modules may house one or more submodules such as storage devices (e.g., disk drives) or printed circuit boards.
