Abstract

A method of manufacturing a chassis that cools thermal energy generating components of an information handling system (IHS) includes: forming an enclosure with a chassis that has a base wall for provisioning a thermal energy generating component; forming one or more stiffeners each having one or more air channels formed transversely through for directing air proximate to the base wall; attaching the one or more stiffeners laterally across the base wall; and attaching a planar member that is horizontally on top of the one or more stiffeners for engaging one or more forward compute components on top of the planar member that substantially block air flow above the planar member to the thermal energy generating component. The one or more air channels eliminate thermal shadowing caused by thermal energy generating components provisioned in a rear area of the chassis.
