Abstract: The present invention in broadest terms includes an adapter for a plurality of multipin connectors, said adapter comprising: (a) a circuit board having a connector-mounting side; (b) a plurality of multipin connectors, each of said multipin connectors disposed on said connector-mounting side of said circuit board so as to be in electrical contact therewith; and (c) a plural electrical wire conduit in electrical contact via a plug with said circuit board so as to be in electrical contact with each of said multipin connectors.

Abstract: The present invention is a cooling device for a vertical array of electronic devices, which, in broadest terms, comprises an enclosure having a top and a bottom, each having at least one opening, and having first and second sides. The first opposing side has at least one first aperture and at least one first fan disposed in it to urge air toward the outside of the enclosure. The second opposing side has at least one second aperture and at least one second fan disposed in it adapted to urge air toward the inside of the enclosure. The device also has at least one deflector adapted to guide air passing through the opening(s) in the bottom of the enclosure toward the first fan(s), and adapted to guide air passing through the second fan(s) toward the opening(s) in the top of the enclosure.
