Abstract
A cooling system for cooling a set of components in a compute module and an array of storage devices in a storage module, the array of storage devices comprising rows and columns. The storage module is wider than the compute module to accommodate a larger backplane. The backplane has large vertical vent openings for accommodating connectors of storage devices connecting to the backplane. Pairs of divider walls positioned between adjacent columns of storage devices form large channels for increased airflow between columns of storage devices and reduced airflow between adjacent rows of storage devices. The design allows for increased cooling performance and reduced acoustic energy (noise).
