    Abstract: A drive (e.g., hard drive) carrier can have a frame with a door that can open to permit installation of the drive and can snap shut to secure the drive within the drive carrier. The drive carrier can include a connector lock, which can take the form of a pair of pins extending from the frame and capable of engaging corresponding retention holes of a connector of a cable. The connector lock can help align the cable's connector with the drive's connector, as well as releasably lock the cable's connector in place when operatively connected to the drive. Damping couplings can couple the carrier frame to a computer chassis. The damping couplings and the flexibility of the cable vibrationally isolate the drive from the chassis, while the connector lock ensures the cable's connector does not unintentionally disconnect from the drive.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for providing substantially 180 degrees, or more, of rotation between a sheet metal door mounted on a sheet metal sidewall of a chassis, relative to the chassis. The system includes a first and a second shaft passing through a module positioned between the door and the sidewall, whereby the door rotates about the two shafts, where the two shafts are not axially aligned. The chassis may hold sleds of a server, and the door may further comprise multiple linking modules, such that the sleds are coupled to the linking modules when the door is in a closed position, and the sleds are slid home within the chassis.

    Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes a bay within a computer system, such as a fan bay. The system further includes a baffle positioned around a section of a perimeter of the bay. The baffle is configured to move along the section. The baffle includes a projection that extends into the bay. The projection is configured to abut against a module, such as a fan module, so that the module drives the baffle from a closed position to an open position as the module is inserted into the bay.

    Abstract: A fan module containing a fan is used to cool a computing device or system. The fan module is mounted within a chassis, and contains a housing, a locking body, and lever. The housing of the fan module contains a housing, a locking body, and lever. The housing of the fan module defines a hollow interior that houses the fan. The locking body is coupled to the housing and is moveable between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking body extends through a locking aperture in the floor of the chassis. When in the unlocked position, the locking body rises above the locking aperture in the floor of the chassis. Moving the lever from the first position to the second position causes the locking body to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

    Abstract: A lever assembly for coupling a computer module to a chassis includes a base lever, a locking tab, and a flexible element positioned between the base lever and the locking tab. The base lever is rotatably coupled to the computer module. The base lever is rotatable between an installed position and an opened position. The locking tab is rotatably coupled to the computer module for engaging a locking surface on the chassis when in a locked position. The locking tab is rotatable between the locked position and an unlocked position. The flexible element is configured to bias the locking tab into the locked position when the base lever is in the installed position. Rotation of the base lever to the opened position induces rotation of the locking tab to the unlocked position.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a removable cable arm bracket for attachment to an inner rail of a computer system. The cable arm bracket includes a spring sheet that can be biased for securing and removing the cable arm bracket from the inner rail. The spring sheet secures a projection from the inner rail within an aperture of the cable arm bracket to secure the cable arm bracket to the inner rail. Biasing of the spring sheet allows the projection to be removed from the aperture.
