Abstract:
1. A cooling apparatus comprising: a thermal transfer structure to couple to an electronics card and facilitate transfer of heat from the electronics card, the thermal transfer structure comprising: a coolant-cooled structure residing within an electronic system, and associated with a receiving slot of the electronic system within which the electronics card is to be operatively inserted, the coolant-cooled structure extending into the thermal transfer structure and residing between the electronics card and the lid of the clamping structure when the thermal transfer structure is coupled to the electronics card and the electronics card is operatively inserted into the receiving slot of the electronic system, wherein the opened position of the clamping structure facilitates insertion of the electronics card into the electronic system with the coolant-cooled structure disposed between the electronics card and the lid, and movement of the clamping structure to the clamped position facilitates clamping of the thermal transfer structure, including the lid, to the coolant-cooled structure, and thermal conduction of heat from the electronics card to the coolant-cooled structure.
