Abstract
An apparatus that includes a plurality of linkage arms connected one to another by one of a plurality of joints, wherein the plurality of linkage arms has a first end and a second end, and the first end is adapted to allow for removable attachment of a cold plate from a cooling assembly in a computer server, and a coupling that reversibly connects the second end of the plurality of linkage arms to a location on the cooling assembly, wherein the coupling is adapted to allow the plurality of linkage arms to be held in place at the location on the cooling assembly. The plurality of linkage arms are adapted to move along a predefined travel pathway and adapted to be reversibly converted between at least a lowered configuration and a service configuration.
