A circuit card assembly includes a first printed circuit board and a first electronic component mounted on the first printed circuit board. A heat transfer assembly is coupled to the first printed circuit board. The heat transfer assembly includes a first plate extending adjacent the first printed circuit board and a second plate extending adjacent the first plate. At least one of the first plate and the second plate includes an accommodation feature to accommodate the first electronic component. The heat transfer assembly further includes a first set of heat pipes between the first plate and the second plate. The first set of heat pipes is configured to remove heat from the first electronic component. At least one heat pipe of the first set of heat pipes extends adjacent the accommodation feature.

A mounting bracket for securing a mezzanine card in a stacked single board computer includes a main body that includes a first end, an opposite second end, a first side surface, and an opposite second side surface. The main body is sized to be positioned along a side surface of the mezzanine card, wherein the first side surface or the second side surface contacts the side surface of the mezzanine card to facilitate securing the side surface of the mezzanine card with respect to a top PCB. The mounting bracket also includes a first arm formed at the first end of the main body, a second arm formed at the second end of the main body, and at least one top rail coupled to the main body, wherein the top rail is configured to secure a top surface of the mezzanine card with respect to a top PCB.
