Abstract
A managed modular sub-environment for a computer system. In one embodiment, a plurality of modular managed sub-environments are included within an outer enclosure of a computer system. In one embodiment, the modular managed sub-environments have a managed thermal environment and a managed electromagnetic interference (EMI) environment. The computer system components enclosed within each sub-environment are less likely to be affected by the EMI or thermal energy from another neighboring sub-environment. Each of the plurality of modular managed sub-environments are coupled to a computer system backplane including a common bus, which distributes communications and power among the plurality of modular managed sub-environments.
