    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to dividing single full-width card slot of an electronics enclosure into two reduced-width card slots. Such conversion is performed by interposing a card-slot dividing member between full-width slide members on opposite interior surfaces of a card cage of the electronics enclosure. The card-slot dividing member has first and second reduced-width slide members aligned directly opposite the full-width slide members on opposite interior surfaces of the card cage. Each of the first and second reduced-width slide members is configured to slidably guide a reduced-width Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) module into the reduced-width card slot cooperatively with a corresponding one of the full-width slide members. In some embodiments, the card-slot dividing member is further configured to operate as a heat exchanger, helping to cool any CCA modules within an interior cavity of the electronics enclosure.

    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes one or more electronic components, and an enclosure in which the one or more electronic components are located. The enclosure includes a vertically top surface, a vertically bottom surface, and a plurality of side portions extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. A cooling arrangement for thermal management of the one or more electronic components includes a cooling airflow inlet to admit a cooling airflow into the enclosure, a cooling airflow outlet to exhaust the cooling airflow from the enclosure, and one or more cooling pathways between the cooling airflow inlet and the cooling airflow outlet. One or more removable covers are positioned over the cooling airflow inlet to allow for airflow ingress into the cooling airflow inlet, while preventing impingement of debris into the cooling airflow inlet.

The cooling airflow inlet is downward facing toward the vertically bottom surface such that the cooling airflow flows into the cooling airflow inlet an upward direction toward the vertically top surface.
