Abstract: Methods of fabricating tamper-respondent assemblies provided which include a tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure. The tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure includes a tamper-respondent sensor. The tamper-respondent sensor includes, for instance, at least one flexible layer having opposite first and second sides, and circuit lines forming, at least in part, at least one tamper-detect network, such as one or more resistive networks. The circuit lines are disposed on at least one of the first side or the second side of the at least one flexible layer. At least one region of the tamper-respondent sensor is fabricated with increased susceptibility to damage from mechanical stress associated with a tamper event. The at least one region of increased susceptibility to damage facilitates detection of the tamper event by the tamper-respondent sensor.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating electronic circuits and electronic packages are provided. The electronic circuit includes a multilayer circuit board, and a tamper-respondent sensor embedded within the circuit board. The tamper-respondent sensor defines, at least in part, a secure volume associated with the multilayer circuit board. In certain implementations, the tamper-respondent sensor includes multiple tamper-respondent layers embedded within the circuit board including, for instance, one or more tamper-respondent frames and one or more tamper-respondent mat layers, with the tamper-respondent frame(s) being disposed, at least in part, above the tamper-respondent mat layer(s), which together define the secure volume where extending into the multilayer circuit board. In certain embodiments, one or more of the tamper-respondent layers are divided into multiple, separate tamper-respondent circuit zones, with the tamper-respondent layers, including the circuit zones, being electrically connected to monitor circuitry within the secure volume.

Abstract: Tamper-respondent assemblies and methods of fabrication are provided which include an electronic enclosure and a tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure. The electronic enclosure encloses, at least in part, at least one electronic component to be protected, and includes an inner main surface, and an inner sidewall surface which has at least one inner-sidewall corner. The tamper-respondent electronic circuit structure includes a tamper-respondent sensor covering, at least in part, the inner sidewall surface of the electronic enclosure. The tamper-respondent sensor includes multiple slots provided therein. The multiple slots facilitate disposing the tamper-respondent sensor to cover the at least one inner-sidewall corner of the inner sidewall surface by allowing for one or more regions of overlap of the tamper-respondent sensor at the at least one inner-sidewall corner of the electronic enclosure.

Abstract: A cassette for insertion and removal of an edge-connected printed circuit card connectable to a server chassis is disclosed. The cassette includes a housing comprising a bottom wall having at least one elongated slot and a catch formed thereon. The cassette further includes a connector sub-assembly overlying the bottom wall having an edge connector socket formed thereon and configured to receive the edge-connected printed circuit card. The cassette further includes a guide sub-assembly underlying the bottom wall having a spring latch formed thereon. The spring latch is operable in a first state to engage the catch to prevent movement of the connector sub-assembly and the guide sub-assembly relative to the housing. The spring latch is operable in a second state to clear the catch to permit the connector sub-assembly and the guide sub-assembly to slide in unison in the at least one elongated slot.

Abstract: A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.
