    Abstract: In the production of certain components, the components must pass through an existing treating device with limited clearance. This limited clearance will cause unwanted physical contact between the component and the existing treatment apparatus, such as a reflow oven for treating electronic components, such as an M.2 connector. In such a situation, it will be necessary to practice a method of separating the component into subassemblies or modules; separately treating the subassemblies or modules in the reflow oven; and then reassembling the subassemblies and modules after the reflow treatment.

    Abstract: Server chassis having a main chassis with a bottom surface and first and second lower sidewalls that extend vertically from opposing sides of the bottom surface. First and second flanges extend horizontally outward from the first and second lower sidewalls, respectively. First and second upper sidewalls vertically extend from the first and second flanges. The distance between the first and second upper sidewalls is greater than the distance between first and second lower sidewalls. A tray resting on each of the flanges divides a portion of the main chassis into an upper and a lower portion. A first lateral recess is defined by the first lower sidewall and the first flange, and a second lateral recess is defined by the second lower sidewall and the second flange. The first and second recesses are configured to receive a rail defining an outer boundary substantially flush with the first and second sidewalls.

    Abstract: A lock mechanism for securing an expansion card in a computer chassis includes an elongated structural support, a wedge, and a channel structure. The elongate structural support comprising a first and second arm extending obliquely away from each other from a central pivot point positioned between a first and second end of the elongate structural support. The wedge protrudes upwardly from the first arm at the first end of the elongated structural support. The wedge is configured to engage with a riser card component of a riser module including the expansion card and cause a rotation of the elongated structural support about the central pivot point from an unlocked to a locked position. The channel structure extends from the second arm at the second end of the elongated structural support. The channel structure is configured to secure the expansion card with the elongated structural support positioned in the locked position.
