Abstract
An electronic device may include a backplane and an electrical connector carried by a front side of the backplane, and a circuit board assembly removably coupled to the electrical connector. Each circuit board assembly may include a circuit board and electronic components carried by the circuit board and generating waste heat, and a cooling fluid arrangement thermally coupled to the electronic components. The electronic device may include a cooling fluid manifold, and a pair of multi-functional tubes that provide alignment, keying, structural rigidity and fluid supply and return capabilities extending between the cooling fluid manifold and the cooling fluid arrangement.
