An electronic apparatus having a housing that can be removably mounted on a base having an exhaust port. The housing has an inlet port and an outlet port communicating with the inlet port. The inlet port communicates with the exhaust port of the base while the housing remains mounted on the base. The housing contains a heat-generating component and a fan unit. The fan unit draws cooling air into the housing via the inlet port and applies the cooling air toward the outlet port, thereby cooling the heat-generating component.
