An electronics cabinet for storing a plurality of electronic devices
therein is provided and includes a fan and an evaporative cooler. The fan
draws a flow of air into the cabinet, circulates the flow of air through
the evaporative cooler, and then across the electronic devices for
removing heat produced by the electronic devices. The evaporative cooler
removes heat from the flow of air by absorbing heat from the flow of air
and then dissipating the heat by evaporating a liquid into a secondary
airflow, which is directed out of the cabinet. The cabinet includes a
cold air plenum having an actuator for adjusting a cross-sectional area
of the cold air plenum to control the airflow through each of the
supports.
