ABSTRACT:
An improved cooling system for a computer system includes a ventilated backplane for a disk drive cage. The backplane is rigidly secured to the rear of the disk drive cage and includes a plurality of apertures therein to permit convective heat transfer between the inner cavity of the drive cage and the main enclosure of the computer system. A fan assembly is attached to the backplane on the side opposite the drive cage to further enhance heat transfer through the ventilation apertures. In one embodiment, the fan assembly includes a plenum attached to the backplane and a fan attached to the plenum. In another embodiment, a fan housing is attached to the backplane and incorporates one or more fans therein.
