Abstract:
1. An arrangement for introducing a plate element for which heat needs to be dissipated by means of conduction into a slot of a chassis which is adapted to absorb the heat, the slot comprising a back wall adapted to contact the plate element upon its insertion, an opposing front wall, and a base wall extending perpendicularly therebetween; said plate element comprising margins adapted for carrying said arrangement; the arrangement comprising: (a) a seat located on the margins; (b) a wedgelock moveably attached to the seat, comprising two slot engaging surfaces adapted to contact the front and base walls of the slot, and a seat engaging portion adapted to contact the seat; and (c) an actuating mechanism adapted to cause a movement of the wedgelock in a direction toward the front wall and in a direction toward the base wall of the slot until a tight contact is established between the slot engaging surfaces of the wedgelock and the slot's front and base walls, while maintaining a tight contact between the seat engaging portion of the wedgelock and the seat and between the module and the back wall of the slot.
