Blower tray

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a housing defining a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side surfaces connected the top surface and the bottom surface and defining a first plenum chamber between the top, bottom and first and second surfaces;

a first rail extending from the first side surface and a second rail extending from the second surface such that when the first and second rails are slidably engaged with a third surface that is in parallel disposition to the bottom surface, the first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface define a second plenum chamber;

a blower device that is axially disposed between the top and bottom surface such that an axis of rotation of a blower fan of the blower device is substantially perpendicular to the top surface and the bottom surface;

wherein:

a first end of the housing defines a first plenum outlet for the first plenum chamber on a first side of the blower device;

the top surface defines a plenum inlet that is aligned with the blower fan so that the plenum inlet is over at least a portion of the blower fan;

the bottom surface defines a second plenum outlet that is positioned on a second side of the blower device that is opposite the first side of the blower device and that fluidly couples the first plenum chamber to the second plenum chamber formed by first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface; and

the second plenum chamber formed by the first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface has a third plenum outlet.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first plenum outlet at the first end of the first housing defines an outlet plane substantially parallel to the radial axis of the blower device; and

the third plenum outlet defines an outlet plane substantially parallel to the radial axis of the blower device on the first side of the blower device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an electrical connector positioned on the bottom surface such that the electrical connector is within the second plenum chamber formed by the first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the electrical connector has a height that is less than a height of the first and second rails.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the electrical connector is positioned on a side of the second plenum outlet that is opposite a side at which the blower device is positioned longitudinally relative to the second plenum outlet.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein first plenum inlet includes a peripheral gasket surrounding the first plenum inlet.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first plenum chamber is further defined by a second end that extends at least to and connected to edges of the top surface, the bottom surface, and the first and the second side surfaces, the second end being positioned longitudinally on the second side of the blower device.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a chassis defined by front, back, top, bottom and side surfaces;

a first interior surface that partially defines a first slot between the first interior surface and the top surface, wherein the first slot includes first and second rail slots to slidably receive the first housing by the first and second rails of the first housing;

a second interior surface connected to the first interior surface and defining a chassis chamber between the second interior surface and the back side surface of the chassis and a chassis chamber between the second interior surface and the front surface;

wherein:

the front surface of the chassis includes intake ports for air intake and the second interior surface includes exhaust ports that allow air to flow from the intake ports to the exhaust ports and into the chassis chamber;

the first interior surface includes a chassis chamber exhaust port that aligns with the plenum inlet of the top surface of the first housing; and

the top surface of the chassis forms the third surface that is in parallel disposition to the bottom surface of the first housing to define the second plenum chamber.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising:

an electrical connector positioned on the bottom surface such that the electrical connector is within the second plenum chamber formed by the first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface; and

a mating component positioned within the first interior surface such that the mating component is configured to connect with the electrical connector upon the first and second rails being at least partially slidably engaged with the first and second rail slots.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the back surface of the chassis includes one or more exhaust ports positioned in air communication with at least a portion of at least one of the first plenum outlet and the third plenum outlet, and wherein the one or more exhaust ports are configured to pass air out of the chassis.
