Abstract: A movable floating connector is disclosed. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a fixed structure coupled to a chassis, a movable floating connector assembly, and an elastic object. The movable floating connector assembly includes a receiving connector configured to engage with a module connector of an insertable module removable from the chassis. The elastic object is interfaced between at least a portion of the fixed structure and at least a portion of the movable floating connector assembly. The elastic object is configured to provide a force on the movable floating connector assembly against a direction of insertion of the insertable module to maintain a consistent engagement between the receiving connector of the movable floating connector assembly and the module connector of the insertable module across a variation in length in the direction of insertion.

Abstract: An electronics cooling system includes a housing (101) defining four quadrants (110,111,112,113) with a front face (102) defining an air inlet (301) in the first quadrant and a rear face (203) defining an air exhaust (401) in the second quadrant. A first plenum (701) is disposed adjacent to the air inlet, while a second plenum (702) is disposed adjacent to the air exhaust. A first circuit card corridor (703) and a second circuit card corridor (704), separated by a barrier wall (705), are disposed between the first plenum and the second plenum. A first fan module (304) is disposed adjacent to the first circuit card corridor. A second fan module (404) is disposed adjacent to the second circuit card corridor. The structure defines a first cooling path to a first side of the barrier wall and a second cooling path to a second side of the barrier wall.
