Thus, the pivoting support 621 can be caused to move between the engaged position and the disengaged position by moving the second link 653 of the mechanical linkage 651 between its engaged and disengaged positions. Accordingly, actuating the engagement mechanism 650 means moving the second link 653 of the mechanical linkage 651, actuating the engagement mechanism 650 to engage the cold plate 630 means moving the second link 653 into its engaged position, and actuating the engagement mechanism 650 to disengage the cold plate 630 means moving the second link 653 into its disengaged position.
Although one mechanical linkage 651 is described above for simplicity, there may be more than one. For example, in
There are a variety of ways that the engagement mechanism 650 can be actuated. For example, the engagement mechanism 650 may be automatically actuated by an electronic actuator, or it may be manually actuated by a user. Some specific examples of different approaches to actuating the engagement mechanism 150 are described in greater detail below in sections 1.3 and 1.4.
1.3. Engagement Mechanism with Electronic Actuator
In one example, an electronic actuator 660 may be coupled to the mechanical linkage 651 to cause the second link 653 to move between the engaged and disengaged positions (See
