A computer system includes a processor module comprising a vapor chamber heat spreader for removing heat from a bare die processor. The vapor chamber heat spreader may be coupled with the bare die processor via a mounting structure. The vapor chamber heat spreader may have a pedestal that extends towards the bare die processor, such that a bottom surface of the pedestal is positioned proximate a top surface of the bare die processor. In various embodiments, the processor module may be configured to enable servicing of one or more components. For example, the processor module may have a mechanism that allows for uncoupling the vapor chamber heat spreader from the bare die processor, so as to enable replacement of the bare die processor in some embodiments.

A computer system includes a chassis comprising location indicating elements, such as springs, magnets, standoffs, or other types of location indicating elements physically attached to the chassis in a configuration that indicates locations in the chassis. Also, the computer system includes multiple printed circuit boards comprising pads configured to interface with the location indicating elements, wherein combinations of sensed or not sensed location indicating elements at the pads of the printed circuit boards provide a physically verified placement location for the printed circuit boards.

An electrical connection system can include a cage and/or a corresponding cable. The cage can be formed by walls and define faces on the top, bottom, right, left, front, and rear. A rear portion can house a receiving portion of a connector interface, which can be engaged via insertion of a module through the front face, or alternately by insertion of a plug through the top face. The cable at a terminating end can include the plug, which may include a vertical upright column and a horizontal base that includes an insertion portion of the connector interface. The cable at an originating end can include another instance of the receiving portion of the connector interface. A retainer can be provided to retain the plug in engagement with the receiving portion of the connector in the cage. The retainer can include a cover or other structure on the cable and/or cage.
