A cooling assembly to transfer heat away from an apparatus. The cooling assembly includes a heat sink and heat pipes that are connected to and that extend outward from the heat sink. The heat pipes include a first section that extends outward from the heat sink and that is shaped to be inserted into the apparatus, and a second section that is embedded within the heat sink. An actuation mechanism is configured to move the heat sink and the heat pipes in a first direction to contact the heat pipes with the apparatus and in an opposing second direction to remove the heat pipes from contact with the apparatus. A cooling system includes one or more apparatuses, heat sinks, and heat pipes.
