Abstract
An electronic device comprises: a housing; blades each of which is detachable from the housing and on each of which at least CPU and a memory are mounted; first cooling devices each of that takes out heat generated in the blade outside the blade, each of said first cooling device having a heat release part in the form of an elongate column to be fixed to the blade; second cooling devices fixed to the housing to discharge heat transported from the first cooling devices outside the housing, each of said second cooling devices having a heat absorbing part, which is capable of containing the heat release part of the first cooling device; medium reservoirs each of which is put in fluid communication with a clearance, which is formed between the heat release part and the heat absorbing part when the heat release part is inserted into the heat absorbing part; a heat conducting medium stored in each of the medium reservoirs; pressurizing devices for pressurizing the heat conducting medium to supply the heat conducting medium to the clearance, and a detachable connecting part formed between the heat release part and the heat absorbing part.
