1. A cooling system configured to remove heat from a chimney of a server cabinet comprising:
the chimney having an extending portion extending above a server rack;
a chimney heat exchanger unit including a chimney heat exchanger disposed in the extending portion of the chimney above the server rack;
the chimney heat exchanger having a fluid inlet for receiving a working fluid, and a fluid outlet for discharging the working fluid;
the chimney heat exchanger also having an upstream surface receiving warm waste heat generated by one or more servers; and
the chimney heat exchanger also having a downstream surface that discharges cooled air cooled by the chimney heat exchanger;
wherein the server can be accessed through the chimney without moving the chimney heat exchanger; and
wherein an air handler heat exchanger further cools cooled air from the chimney and returns cold air to the server rack.
