The cold plate engagement mechanism 650 includes at least one mechanical linkage 651 and associated link guide 654 (see
The mechanical linkage 651 is configured such that, when a force is applied to the second link 653 along a first direction aligned with its constrained dimension, this is translated into a force applied to the engagement bar 626 that biases the pivoting support 621 towards rotating downward. In other words, when the second link 653 is moved in the first direction, this causes the pivoting support 621 to rotate downward. Conversely, when a force is applied to the second link 653 along a second direction opposite to the first direction, this is translated into a force applied to the engagement bar 626 that biases the pivoting support 621 towards rotating upward. In other words, when the second link 653 is moved in the second direction, this causes the pivoting support 621 to rotate upward.
