Abstract
An example computing device includes one or more bays to receive a pluggable module, and a cold plate assembly. The cold plate assembly includes one or more cold plates to engage with the pluggable modules and transfer heat from the modules to liquid coolant. The cold plate assembly also includes a pivoting support that supports the cold plate(s) and pivots relative to the system board, and an engagement mechanism comprising a mechanical linkage with mechanical advantage attached to the pivoting support such that moving a link of the mechanical linkage causes the pivoting support to pivot between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the cold plate contacts is positioned to engaged with the pluggable module, while in the disengaged position the cold plate is disengaged from the pluggable module.
