Patent number: 10765038Abstract: A system may include a component cage to house a heat-generating component, a cold plate assembly, and a mounting mechanism. The cold plate assembly may include a cold plate having a mating surface and a non-mating surface, the mating surface to contact a thermal transfer device of a heat-generating component installed in the component cage. The mounting mechanism movably mounts the cold plate to the component cage with the non-mating surface facing a surface of the component cage located in a first plane. The mounting mechanism allows the cold plate to move from a first orientation to a second orientation as the heat-generating component is being installed in the component cage. In the first orientation, the mating surface is inclined relative to the first plane. In the second orientation, the mating surface is parallel to the first plane when the heat-generating component is installed in the component cage.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Kevin B.
