Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods described herein provide heat sinks that can be incorporated into chassis, yet be compatible with edge devices that contain many different combinations of hardware that can be arranged in many different ways on circuit boards. In one example, a pattern of fittings on an interior-facing side of the heat sink are configured to mate with fittings on a first side of an adapter pedestal. A second side of the adapter pedestal is configured to thermally couple with an electronic component housed within the chassis when the heat sink is fully seated and the pedestal is properly coupled to the heat sink.

Abstract: Examples relate to edge device disablement. In some examples, edge device disablement includes an edge device including a processing resource in communication with a memory resource including instructions executable to receive an indication of a disablement trigger associated with the edge device and responsive to the indication, reprogram a printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the edge device to render mechanisms of the PCA inoperable.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to a system for enabling compression of a video output. For example, the system can include a circuit board including a plurality of slots, each slot to receive a module, a multiplexor coupled between the plurality of slots, and a management controller, among other components. The management controller can detect a respective type of module coupled to each of the plurality of slots and instruct the multiplexor to transmit signals between a first slot among the plurality of slots and a second slot among the plurality of slots in response to detection of a graphics coprocessor module coupled to the first slot and an accelerator module coupled to the second slot. Similarly, the management controller can compress a video output from the first slot using the second slot.
