Reference is now made to FIG. 1, which illustrates an example embodiment of a switch 10 that includes the ventilation solution presented herein. The depicted switch 10 is a single rack unit (1U) switch that is suitable for a modular data center/blade chassis; however, it is to be understood that this switch is merely an example of a computing device that can include/incorporate the ventilation solution presented herein. That is, although the ventilation solution presented herein is largely described herein in connection with a 1U switch, it is to be understood that this is merely one example of a computing device in which the ventilation solution presented herein may be incorporated. In other embodiments, the ventilation solution presented herein may be included or incorporated in computing devices for modular systems, such as field replaceable units (FRUs), server blades, and storage blades, as well as any other computing device that requires cooling and EMI containment. However, the ventilation solution presented herein may be most appropriate for higher power systems, such as systems operating at or near a total system power of at least 1200 W since lower power systems might be sufficiently cooled with less effective ventilation solutions. Moreover, the ventilation solution presented herein may be incorporated into computing devices of any size, including full-width 2U devices, half-width 2U devices, etc. In view of the foregoing, the switch 10 may also be referred to as computing device 10.
