Heat dissipating apparatus

Abstract

A heat dissipating apparatus includes an enclosure, a supporting frame attached in the enclosure, and a heat exchanger. The enclosure includes two opposite side plates, each of which defines at least one guiding groove. The heat exchanger is mounted to the supporting frame. The heat exchanger includes two opposite sidewalls and at least one positioning post protruding from each of the two sidewalls. Each of the at least one positioning posts is slidably received in, positioned by, and held captive in, one of the at least one guiding grooves.
