Abstract
A front-to-back cooling system allows cooling of an apparatus containing two orthogonal sets of modules. A vertical set of modules is cooled with vertical air flow across the modules that enters from a front of the apparatus and exits from the back of the apparatus. A horizontal set of modules is cooled with air flow that passes through openings in a midplane connecting the two sets of modules.
