ABSTRACT:
This application discloses an apparatus comprising a chassis comprising a box having a perforated top, a perforated bottom and four sidewalls, wherein at least two on the sidewalls have air vents therein near the bottom, a modular fan assembly removably coupled to the top of the chassis, and a retention mechanism to removably secure the modular fan assembly to the chassis. Also disclosed is a process comprising providing a chassis including one or more server blades therein, each server blade having a power consumption, if the power consumption of each blade is below a threshold power consumption, cooling the blades using natural convection, and if the power consumption of each blade is above a threshold power consumption, cooling the blades using forced convection. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
