Abstract: A computer chassis includes walls defining an airspace containing heat-generating components (e.g., storage drives). The airspace is divided into first and second regions, such as by a printed circuit board supporting the heat-generating components within the first region. An air input feeds both the first region and second region. Input air going through the first region first passes by a forward set of heat-generating components before continuing to a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat therefrom. Input air going through the second region bypasses the forward set of heat-generating components before being directed out through an air opening partway down the length of the chassis, after which this air passes by a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat.
