    Abstract: In some embodiments, a rack system is configured to comprise a removable fan system. The fan system enables thermal management of the rack system. The removable fan system includes a replaceable fan tray that can be assembled in the rack system by engaging a connecting mechanism and connecting a connecting cable. The fan tray is engaged with the connecting mechanism to be securely attached to the rack system. The fan tray is connected to a bus bar to receive power or necessary data to be operated. The fan tray can be disassembled from the rack system while the bus remains active, and enables access to the server or the rack system. The replaceable fan tray enables easy replacement of the fan system and access to the rear side of the rack system.

    Abstract: Latch mechanism having a latch slide having a receiving portion and configured to couple a component with a server chassis. A latch ramp disposed on the latch slide at a first end of the receiving portion, a release ramp disposed on the latch slide at a second end of the receiving portion, and a biasing element biasing the latch slide in a latched position. The latch ramp configured to draw the pin into the receiving portion and the release ramp configured to draw the pin away from the receiving portion. When the latch slide transitions to the latched position, the pin is received in the receiving portion and engages the latch ramp, thereby sliding the latch slide and compressing the biasing element. When the latch slide transitions to the unlatched position, the biasing member is compressed causing the pin to engage the release ramp and translate the component.

    Abstract: A computing device is provided with a drive slot with a connector for engaging a corresponding connector of a HDD, and a first locking element. The computing device includes a removable a HDD carrier for insertion into the drive slot having a bracket, a handle and an enclosure slidably attached to the bracket for securing the HDD. The handle includes a second locking element extending therefrom and configured to receive the first locking element to restrict the removable HDD carrier to vertical motion. The first locking element engages with the second locking element when the handle is in the loading position and the bracket moves relative to the enclosure to secure the hard disk drive in the bracket and connect the connector of a hard disk drive to the connector located at the drive slot when the handle transitions from the loading position to the locked position.

    Abstract: An assembly bracket coupled to a component for locking and releasing the component with a latch of a component receiving module on a component board. The assembly bracket having a rotary hinge connected to a support bracket, a handle rotatable about the rotatory hinge between a retracted position and a deployed position, a linkage rotatably coupled to the handle, and a support lever coupled to the linkage and having an engagement member to engage the latch. When the handle is in the retracted position, the engagement member is engaged with the latch, thereby securing the component in the component receiving module. When the handle transitions from the retracted position to the deployed position, the support lever applies a force away from the component receiving module to thereby decouple the component from the component receiving module.

    Abstract: A component carrier with a tray, a slide cage, a level, and a tilting mechanism. The tray has a bottom surface with a groove formed therein. The slide cage is actuatably coupled with the tray and has a receiving space and an undercarriage. The lever is pivotally coupled with the slide cage and has a lower portion for engaging the groove to transition the slide cage between a first position and a second position. The tilting mechanism is coupled with the tray and configured for biasing the slide cage to the second position. In the first position the undercarriage of the slide cage is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray. In the second position a first end portion of the undercarriage of the slide cage is displaced away from the bottom surface and a second end portion is positioned proximal to the bottom surface of the tray.

    Abstract: An apparatus for reverse mounting an electronic device in a server housing is provided. The apparatus includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a coupling. The first bracket couples to the device body and extends outward from the device body toward a front rail of the server housing. The first bracket includes a first end configured to releasably couple to front rail of the server housing. The second bracket includes a protrusion that extends outward from the device body in an opposite direction relative to the first bracket. The coupling includes a first portion that couples to a rear rail of the server housing and a second portion defining a channel that receives the protrusion of the second bracket.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprising at least one extendable hard drive drawer for replacement and maintenance of at least one hard drive. The apparatus comprises a chassis comprising a front side and a rear side, and a first hard drive carrier and a second hard drive carrier housed within the chassis. The first hard drive carrier can be housed at the front side of the chassis, and the second hard drive carrier can be located behind the first hard drive carrier. The first hard drive carrier and the second hard drive carrier can each be adapted to house at least one hard drive. The first hard drive carrier can be adapted to slide from a closed position to a first open position, and from the first open position to a second open position, such that the second hard drive carrier can be accessed in the second open position.

    Abstract: A component carrier can have a housing forming a receiving space configured to receive at least one component through a receiving opening. A pivotable sidewall can be coupled to the housing and transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A releasable latch coupled to the front portion of the housing capable of being secured the pivotable sidewall in the closed configuration. In the open configuration, the receiving opening is accessible. In the closed configuration, the pivotable sidewall secured to the housing by the releasable latch and the receiving opening is inaccessible.
