Au moins un module d'insertion de processeur comporte son propre boîtier de module d'insertion avec des parois latérales gauche et droite et les barres d'insertion sont disposées de manière sensiblement parallèle par rapport aux parois latérales gauche et droite de telle manière que le module d'insertion du processeur peut être inséré par une face avant ouverte du boîtier de type armoire, les barres d'insertion étant réalisées pour accueillir des modules d'insertion de processeurs qui présentent une extension longitudinale plus grande dans le sens d'insertion que dans le sens de la paroi latérale gauche vers la paroi latérale droite du boîtier de module d'insertion, et que des ouvertures d'air de refroidissement sont prévues dans les parois latérales gauche et droite du boîtier de module d'insertion. Le boîtier de module d'insertion est relié à une installation de ventilation ou est pourvu d'une telle installation qui est réalisée pour guider un débit d'air de refroidissement par les ouvertures d'air de refroidissement depuis une paroi latérale du boîtier du module d'insertion vers l'autre paroi latérale du boîtier du module d'insertion au moyen des composants électroniques dans le boîtier du module d'insertion. L'invention concerne par ailleurs un module d'insertion de processeur pour un tel système informatique.
