摘要:
A technique for installing a heatsink in an electronic assembly includes simultaneously applying force to multiple fastener assemblies that each retain a respective fastener in a body of the heatsink. The heatsink is then attached to the electronic assembly by actuating the fasteners while the force is simultaneously applied to the multiple fastener assemblies.

Systems and arrangements to provide electromagnetic compliance (EMC) for a drive carrier are disclosed. Embodiments may include an EMC spring. The EMC spring may include a shield portion to fasten to one side of a frame of the drive carrier and multiple fingers attached to the shield portion. At least one of the fingers may include an upper spring section to contact an adjoining drive carrier as the drive carrier is inserted into a computing device and a lower spring section. The lower spring section may be folded over against the upper spring section and attached to the shield portion of the spring. The lower spring section may deflect in response to the upper spring section contacting the adjoining drive carrier. In some embodiments, a lead in portion of the upper spring section may deflect to a position nearly parallel to the adjoining drive carrier.

An apparatus for attaching a heatsink to an electronic module mounted on a circuit card assembly includes a load frame; a load arm having a first end being pivotally coupled to one end of the load frame and a second end configured to receive at least a portion of a load screw therethrough; a spring plate disposed at an opposite end of the one end of the load frame, and configured to threadedly receive the load screw, opposite ends of the spring plate being retained while an intermediate portion threadedly receiving the at least a portion of the load screw is allowed to bow upwards toward a bottom of the opposite end of the load arm; and a heatsink disposed on the module. An intermediate portion of the load arm aligned with a center region of the module biases the heatsink toward the module when the load screw is threadedly engaged with the spring plate.

A retention system includes a retainer having at least two wings affixed to a mounting surface by a retaining screw or like attachment device inserted into a hole of the mounting surface. A coil spring or the like, optionally captured by the retaining screw, provides tension between the retainer and the mounting surface. The hole of the mounting surface defines the potential placement of the retainer relative to the mounting surface, allowing it to assume a neutral position and a plurality of offset positions. While in its neutral position, the wings of the retainer prevent the removal of connectors, cables, screws, or other retention devices by physically trapping them between the retainer and the mounting surface. By moving the retainer to one of the plurality of offset positions, a user may expose one of the connectors, cables, screws, or other retention devices, allowing it to be removed while preventing the accidental or inadvertent removal of the other components still trapped by the retainer.
