In some examples, the module 700 may also include an eject button 750. The eject button 750 may cause a signal to be sent to the system board 2 via the connectors 724 and 602, which may cause the cold plate assembly 610 to disengage from the module 700. The eject button 750 may also include an indicator light to indicate a status of the module 700.
A first example form factor of the pluggable module 700 is illustrated in FIG. 3A (see also FIGS. 4A and 5A-B). In this particular pluggable module 700, the carrier/housing 710 is fairly minimalistic, and includes just a faceplate. Thus, the module board 721 is mostly exposed. Moreover, the sides of the module board 721 also serve as the alignment members 712, and may include a notch 712 to engage the locking pins 627. In this example, the connector 724 is an edge connector formed on an edge of the module board 721. In the illustrated example, the heat generating component 722 is an electro-optical transceiver, but it should be understood that a similar form factor of module 700 could be used with other types of heat generating components 722.
