Apparatus which is capable of providing efficient cooling of rack mounted
electronic modules while accommodating relatively large tolerances in the
mounting of the modules. A plurality of thermally conductive sliding
wedge blocks are interposed between the lower surface of each module and
the upper surface of the cold plate base of the rack. The mechanism for
clamping a module to the rack also pulls the wedge blocks together to
fill in the gap between the lower surface of the module and the upper
surface of the cold plate so as to provide a complete thermal path
therebetween.
