Abstract
A Compute-On-Fan-Tray-Assembly (COFTA) system includes a fan chassis that is configured to be positioned in a networking device, and that has a fan module coupling subsystem that is configured to couple at least one fan module to the fan chassis. A compute subsystem is mounted to the fan chassis and is configured to perform compute functionality for the networking device. A networking device connector is included on the fan chassis, is coupled to the compute subsystem, and is configured to engage a compute subsystem connector in the networking device to couple the compute subsystem to a network processing system in the networking device when the fan chassis is positioned in the networking device.
