An apparatus, system, and method for managing cooling within a printed
circuit board (PCB) enclosure. The system includes a PCB having a first
surface on which electronic components are mounted. Multiple contour
control actuators are fixedly disposed in a substantially planar array in
z-axis opposition to the first surface of the PCB. Each of the contour
control actuators has an extensible end that is electromechanically
extendable in parallel with the z-axis normal to the first surface of the
PCB. A substantially flexible sheet member is disposed between the
extensible ends of the contour control actuators and the first surface of
the PCB. The extensible ends contact the flexible sheet member such that
the z-axis contour of the flexible sheet member is determined by the
z-axis positions of the extensible ends. A contour controller adjusts the
z-axis contour of the flexible sheet member by adjusting the relative
positions of the extensible ends of one or more of the contour control
actuators. The contour controller adjusts the relative positions of the
extensible ends in accordance with thermal conditions proximate to the
PCB.
