Blades are designed to be used in close quarters in ventilated, yet rugged, environments. Other than the processor cooler, there are no moving parts. All non-blade storage is external to the blade, allowing multiple removable storage devices to be used with each blade. | Blades are designed to be used in close quarters in ventilated, yet rugged, environments.

- | A central issue for all computing equipment is the accumulation of dust within the components (due to the need for moving air to cool hot components). Because the blades are designed to use cooler processors, the amount of cooling (moving air) is less than hotter processors. Thus, using a case with proper air filters (such as those used for Limulus systems) blades normally do not experience large amounts of dust accumulation. In addition, should dust find its way to a blade, it is easily removed and cleaned using compressed air. | + | A central issue for all computing equipment is the accumulation of dust within the components (due to the need for moving air to cool hot components).
