摘要:
A board extraction device with integrated mounting includes a base portion configured to be disposed on an opening of a circuit board, a rivet extending from a surface of the base portion and configured to pass through the opening, a handle flexibly connected to the base portion, and a pin flexibly connected to the base portion. The rivet has a hole extending therethrough. The pin engages the hole so as to fix the base portion to the circuit board.

A mounting assembly is provided for use in mounting a printed circuit board to a computer chassis. The mounting assembly includes standoffs attached to the chassis wall to extend outward into the chassis. Each standoff includes an elongated body and a neck extending from the body and having a smaller diameter than outer dimensions of the body. Each standoff includes a head extending from the neck. The mounting assembly includes retention assemblies that are mounted to the printed circuit board. Each retention assembly includes a spring-force retention member (such as a single coil of a ring spring) with an inner passageway with an at rest diameter smaller than the head. The printed circuit board is mounted to the chassis wall by pressing the printed circuit board onto the standoff elements, which are clasped by a spring force applied by each of the spring-force retention members on the standoff necks.

A fan assembly for an electronic device is provided. The assembly comprises a fan housing, at least one bracket member, and at least one retention peg. The fan housing defines a recess therein for directing heat away from a electrical components positioned within the electronic device. The bracket member supports the fan housing within the electronic device. The retention peg is disposed about the bracket member and includes a plurality of ribs for insertion into the recess to retain the bracket member to the fan housing.

An expansion card bracket for a computer server has an expansion card support attachable to a motherboard and an expansion card accepting portion disposed near a top of the support. The expansion card accepting portion is configured to support an expansion card at an acute angle of inclination with respect to the motherboard. The acute angle of inclination is substantially equal to an angle of inclination of a connector for receiving the expansion card.

A brace for a circuit board vertically mounted on a motherboard includes a first attachment member capable of attaching to an edge of the circuit board distal from the motherboard; a second attachment member capable of attaching to a side edge of the motherboard; and a rigid support connecting the first attachment member and the second attachment member. The rigid support is shaped such that the circuit board is held substantially perpendicular to the motherboard when the brace is attached. An interference minimization device for minimizing the interference of a circuit board vertically mounted on a motherboard includes an attachment member capable of attaching to the circuit board at an end distal from the motherboard; a mating wall that is substantially parallel to the circuit board and abuts the circuit board when the interference minimization device is attached to the circuit board; and a tapered wall that widens from the distal end of the circuit board towards the motherboard.

An air baffle with an integrated expansion card attachment is disposed in a computer for receiving an expansion card having a handle attached thereto. The air baffle includes a first wall including a first guide and a second guide projecting from a side surface of the first wall. The first guide a second guide form a transverse space therebetween. The air baffle includes a second wall parallel to the first wall disposed a distance from the first wall approximately equal to a width of the expansion card. The second wall includes a snap retainer having a projected portion thereof. The transverse space formed between the first and second guides of the first wall has a size approximately equal to a thickness of the expansion card such that a first end of the expansion card is firmly held by the first guide and the second guide when the expansion card is inserted into the transverse space. The projected portion inserts between the handle attached to the expansion card and the expansion card in order to hold the expansion card in place. The expansion card is held apart from and parallel to a circuit board of a computer such that an air channel is created between the first wall and the second wall for air to pass across the circuit board of the computer and the expansion card.
