A computer system that includes a chassis and a removable module configured to be housed inside the chassis. The chassis includes an interface plate incorporated therewith. The interface plate is perforated to allow air to flow through the interface plate and along peripheral cards attached to the interface plate. The air that flows along the peripheral cards then flows through perforations in a cover that is used to secure the peripheral cards into their associated card slots. The cover then directs the air into a primary air passage used to exhaust air pulled through the chassis.
