FIG. 2 illustrates an information handling system 200 similar to information handling system 110. Information handling system 200 includes a heat-generating component 210 installed within a case 220. Component 210 is cooled by a cooling fan 230. Cooling fan 230 includes a fan inlet 232 to receive cool air, and one or more fan outlet, not illustrated, that is located to blow the cool air over component 210. The cool air removes heat from component 210 and the heated air is blown out of one or more case outlet 222, thereby removing the heat from component 210. In a particular embodiment, fan inlet 232 is situated at a bottom side of case 220, such that ambient air is drawn into fan 230 via the fan inlet, and FIG. 2 will be understood to be a bottom-view.
