Abstract

A module is electrically connectable to a computer system. The module includes a frame having an edge connector with a plurality of electrical contacts which are electrically connectable to the computer system. The module further includes a first printed circuit board coupled to the frame. The first printed circuit board has a first surface and a first plurality of components mounted on the first surface. The first plurality of components is electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the edge connector. The module further includes a second printed circuit board coupled to the frame. The second printed circuit board has a second surface and a second plurality of components mounted on the second surface. The second plurality of components is electrically coupled to the electrical contacts of the edge connector. The second surface of the second printed circuit board faces the first surface of the first printed circuit board. The module further includes at least one thermally conductive layer positioned between the first plurality of components and the second plurality of components. The at least one thermally conductive layer is thermally coupled to the first plurality of comp…
