## Abstract

A liquid-cooled heat dissipation apparatus includes a base (10), a telesignaling linkage member (20), a sliding plate (30) and a switch module (40). The telesignaling linkage member (20) is moveably installed on the base (10). The sliding plate (30) is installed corresponding to the telesignaling linkage member (20) and generates a movement along with the telesignaling linkage member (20). The switch module (40) includes a microswitch (41) arranged corresponding to the sliding plate (30) such that the microswitch (41) is operably opened or closed based on the movement of the sliding plate (30). Accordingly, through the opening and closing of the microswitch, the telesignaling monitoring on the functional module state can be achieved.
