Zusammenfassung:An externally mounted component cooling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing and including an outer surface that is located opposite the chassis from the chassis housing. An air inlet is defined by the chassis and extends through the chassis from the outer surface to the chassis housing. At least one external component mounting feature is included on the outer surface of the chassis adjacent the air inlet. An external component is coupled to the at least one external component mounting feature. A forced convection device is located in the chassis housing and is configured to generate an airflow through chassis housing. The generation of the airflow by the forced convection device draws air past the external component and through the air inlet to cool the external component.
