Thus, in examples disclosed herein, the cold plate is engaged with and disengaged from the pluggable module by way of a simple and quick process, which is essentially transparent to the user (aside from the user performing a simple step of manually actuating a lever or button in some cases). Thus, these examples are extremely user friendly, as they add only minimal and easy user operations to the process of inserting/removing a module. This is in contrast to the approach described above of installing/uninstalling the cold plate on the module with each insertion/removal of the module, which may be a slow and complex process that may require the user to have access to an interior of the chassis and technical knowledge.
In some examples, multiple cold plates for multiple bays may be ganged together such that actuation of the engagement mechanism causes all of the cold plates to engage or disengage from the pluggable modules in their respective bays. This may further simplify the process of engaging the cold plates, as a user need only perform an operation to actuate the engagement mechanism once to enable engagement/disengagement of multiple cold plates.
