In certain embodiments, a system for cooling components of an electronic
device includes a chassis having a base, sides, and a removable cover
disposed over the sides; a first component, a second component, and a
third component disposed in the chassis; and a duct disposed in the
chassis. In some embodiments, a duct includes a passage, an inlet to the
passage, and an outlet from the passage, wherein the passage is disposed
over the first component but not over the second and third components;
and an upper member disposed against the removable cover lengthwise along
the duct, wherein the duct and the upper member are configured to
separate the second component from the third component in substantially
different regions within the chassis. In particular embodiments, the
system also includes a fan disposed angularly in the duct, such that the
fan can provide an airflow in an angular direction relative to the first
component.
