A cooling assembly for dissipating heat produced in a heat generating component of an electronic system includes a shroud assembly. The cooling assembly also includes a heat dissipating device removably housed within the shroud assembly and a fan assembly removably housed within the shroud assembly. The shroud assembly further includes a plurality of mounting assemblies slidably attached to the shroud assembly and configured to removably secure the cooling assembly in thermal connection to the heat generating component.

A computer system housing for providing an attenuating barrier for electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. The computer system housing includes a backplane wall having a plurality of connectors for receiving PCB's, and a bulkhead wall coupled to the backplane wall. The bulkhead wall defines a plurality of bulkhead slots through which connector receptacles of printed circuit boards (PCB's) can extend. An EMI bulkhead gasket is positioned on the bulkhead wall. A conductive metal impregnated, elastomer EMI gasket is positioned on a mounting flange of the bulkhead wall. The computer system housing also includes a plurality of bulkhead plates. The bulkhead plates contact the EMI bulkhead gasket and the elastomer EMI gasket along their entire peripheral edges so that EMI noise is conducted through these gaskets to the bulkhead wall. The computer system housing further includes a bulkhead plate alignment and mounting system that does not employ separable fasteners. This allows &ldquo;hot plugging&rdquo; of PCB's to the computer system housing.

A protective cover for attachment to an electrical connector having a pair of spaced, parallel upstanding walls with a plurality of exposed electrical contacts disposed between inner surfaces of the upstanding walls. The protective cover includes a planar top wall, a pair of spaced, parallel planar side walls and a pair of spaced, parallel planar end walls. The planar side and end walls engage the outer surfaces of the upstanding walls of the electrical connector to removably secure the protective cover to the electrical connector such that the protective cover enshrouds the electrical contacts to protect the electrical contacts from damage and prevent accumulation of dust particles on the electrical contacts. Each of the planar side and end walls has a lower free edge that is radiused to form a lead-in feature that aids in aligning and sliding the protective cover onto the upstanding walls of the electrical connector. The planar top, side and end walls are formed of a semi-rigid vinyl plastic film having static charge dissipative characteristics.
