A
system includes a housing including a
front panel, a rear panel, an upper panel, and a lower panel. The
system includes a first circuit board or substrate, at least one data processor coupled to the first circuit board or substrate and configured to process data, and at least one
optical module coupled to the first circuit board or substrate. Each
optical module is configured to perform at least one of (i) convert input optical signals to electrical signals that are provided to the at least one data processor, or (ii) convert electrical signals received from the at least one data processor to output optical signals. The
system includes at least one inlet fan mounted near the
front panel and configured to increase an air flow across a surface of at least one of (i) the at least one data processor, (ii) a heat dissipating device thermally coupled to the at least one data processor, (iii) the at least one
optical module, or (iv) a heat dissipating device thermally coupled to the at least one optical module. The system includes at least one
laser module configured to provide
optical power to the at least one optical module.
