A rack assembly unit for mounting a control unit to a vehicle rack system is provided; a rack chassis and a tray are configured to receive the control unit for coupling to a vehicle system. The tray is movably coupled to the rack chassis at a coupling mechanism, which provides for movement of the tray relative to the rack chassis between open and closed positions. At the open position, the tray is spaced apart from rack chassis to facilitate user access to the tray and receiving the control unit therein. At the closed position, the tray is located fully inserted relative to the rack chassis and such that the control unit located in the tray is provided at a control unit operating position thermally coupled to a cold plate of a cooling system to provide for cooling of components of the control unit.

Rack with trays for plug-in automotive control units

An electronic system is described that comprises a first board and a first processing unit, wherein the first processing unit comprises a first semiconductor chip arranged on a first surface of the first board; a first cooling unit facing the first surface of the first board and configured to cool the first semiconductor chip; at least one further board and a second processing unit, wherein the second processing unit comprises a further semiconductor chip arranged on a first surface of the at least one further board; and a second cooling unit facing the first surface of the at least one further board and configured to cool the further semiconductor chip. The first board and the at least one further board are spaced apart from each other. The first cooling unit is a passive cooling unit, and the second cooling unit is an active cooling unit.
