Abstract
In a computer system using an expanded unit for obtaining an expanded function, a heat sink of a computer main body and a heat sink of the expanded unit are connected to each other when the computer main body and the expanded unit are connected to each other. A surface area of the heat sink can be increased, and the radiation effect can be improved. Thereby, the computer main body can be operated under a full power mode in which sufficient radiation effect is assumed. Particularly, the performance of a small-sized computer whose setting space of the heat sink is limited can be improved.
