Abstract:
1. A wall for a line replaceable unit, the wall comprising: an inner surface and an outer surface; at least one heat radiating fin disposed on the outer surface; and a universal heat sink receptacle formed on the inner surface, the universal heat sink receptacle being configured to receive a heat spreader of a COM module, the universal heat sink receptacle being sized and shaped to receive more than one type of COM module, wherein the universal heat sink receptacle is configured to remove heat from the heat spreader without a fan by conducting heat from the heat spreader, through the inner and outer surfaces of the wall, and into the at least one heat radiating fin; wherein a second heat conducting tower is spaced apart from the primary recessed slot, the second heat conducting tower being configured to remove heat from a heat sink of another component; wherein the second heat conducting tower is configured to receive a plurality of applications of thermally conducting paste arranged in a T-formation on the second heat conducting tower, wherein the second heat conducting tower is configured to receive two sets of two applications of thermally conductive paste disposed on the second heat conducting tower, each set of applications being arranged in a line that is substantially perpendicular to the other set of applications.
