ABSTRACT:
A system for cooling processor assembly is disclosed which comprises printed circuit boards (PCB) with a plurality of heat emitting electronic components, and a housing for each PCB with a heat sink covering at least partly the heat emitting electronic components. The housing comprises a base portion to which are transferred heat emitted by the electronic components. Furthermore, the system for cooling processor comprises a cooling plate on which are fixed in series the different PCBs by directly positioning the base portion of the housings onto the cooling plate. The housings for each PCB system include at their base portions clamps to be inserted into corresponding guiding holes of the cooling plate when a PCB together with its housing is positioned onto the cooling plate at a specific therefor dedicated place defined by the guiding holes. Advantageously, the PCB together with its housing is pressed against the cooling plate alongside the base portion when fixed onto the cooling plate allowing thermal coupling between the housing and the cooling plate and a hot plugging of the PCB onto the cooling plate without requiring interrupting the cooling process applied to the cooling plate.
