Abstract: A computer arrangement includes an electronics enclosure located within a computer housing, which is divided into a plurality of physically separated cooling zones. The enclosure has a plurality of inlet and outlet openings. Each cooling zone is in registration with respective inlet and outlet openings. A backplane is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and has front and rear surfaces. A first electrical component is attached to one of the surfaces and is arranged in one of the cooling zones. At least one circuit board is disposed within the electronics enclosure and is attached to the front surface of the backplane. The circuit board has a second electrical component attached to a surface thereof, which is arranged in another one of the cooling zones. A system operation card is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and is attached to the rear surface of the backplane.

Abstract: A power distribution system utilizing a power distribution circuit board having a front and back side with at least one connector on each side. The connector on the front side is disposed to mate with a selected power supply and the connector on the back side is disposed to mate with a substantially identical power supply. The connector on the back side is rotated 180.degree. so that substantially identical power supplies can be located in close proximity to each other while maintaining required conductor spacing in order to provide an improved power distribution system.
