Blower tray
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a housing defining a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side surfaces. Also included is 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. A blower device is included that is axially disposed between the top and bottom surface, wherein a first end of the housing defines a first plenum outlet, the top surface defines a plenum inlet, the bottom surface defines a second plenum outlet that is positioned on a second side of the blower device and that fluidly couples the first plenum chamber to the second plenum chamber. Further, the second plenum chamber is formed by the first and second rails, the bottom surface and the third surface has a third plenum outlet.
1. A method, comprising:
drawing, by a blower fan of a blower device, air from a chassis chamber in a chassis through a plenum inlet of a blower tray and into a blower plenum chamber of the blower tray;
exhausting a portion of the air in the blower plenum chamber through a first plenum outlet on a first side of the blower; and
exhausting a remaining portion of the air in the blower plenum chamber through a second plenum outlet to a second plenum chamber external to the blower tray and the blower plenum chamber, wherein the air in the second plenum chamber exhausts through a third plenum outlet.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicatively coupling by air the blower plenum chamber in the blower tray to the chasing chamber in the chassis by slidably engaging the blower tray into the chassis.
