Abstract:
An information handling system accepts a storage device in a bay that interfaces through a standardized connector having a first set of pins, such as a SATA connector. The standardized connector has a second set of pins inserted within the standardized footprint to support communication by devices other the storage device. For example, a SATA connect shares one or more of its standardized pins with a USB connector so that one common connector within an information handling system bay supports multiple types of devices.
Abstract:
A plug to couple an external device to, and power the external device from, an information handling system includes first contacts conforming to a first industry standard. The first contacts include a first power contact adapted to conduct a first power signal from the information handling system to the external device. The plug also includes second contacts conforming to a second industry standard different from the first industry standard. The second contacts are designed to conduct no more than one second power signal from the information handling system to the external device. In a particular embodiment, the first contacts conform to a USB standard, and the second contacts conform to a non-USB standard.
Abstract:
A portable computer according to which a processor is disposed in a chassis. A module housing is provided for insertion into and removal from, the chassis and contains a fan for flowing air from the processor, through the module housing and externally of the housing to cool the processor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a mobile device. The mobile device may be located proximate a mobile terminal and controlled by the mobile terminal. The mobile device may include a processor and a memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a mode of operation of the mobile device, determine a thermal profile for the mode of operation of the mobile device, and implement a power profile to achieve the thermal profile.
Abstract:
An information handling system component contained within an information handling system housing uses the information handling system housing as at least a portion of a safety enclosure for hazardous functions of the component. A lock out device disables the hazardous function if the information handling system housing is moved relative to the component. For example, an optical disc drive laser is disabled if a Hall effect sensor in the chassis of the optical disc drive no longer senses a magnet placed in a portion of the information handling system housing used to enclose the optical disc drive. Alternatively, the component couples to the information handling system housing to enclose the hazardous function within the interior of the information handling system housing so that the component is inaccessible from the exterior of the housing.

Abstract:
A storage device mounting apparatus includes a modular device casing defining a storage device housing, a shock isolation material coupled to the modular device casing and located in the storage device housing, and a storage device positioned in the storage device housing and engaging the shock isolation material. The apparatus may be interchanged with a standard storage device to provide information handling systems in a build to order fashion depending the strength of the shock and vibration events the information handling system is expected to experience.

Abstract:
Electrical communication between an information handling system chassis having a non-conductive surface and processing components within the chassis is established through the non-conductive surface with conductive elements extending from a conductive pad. A protruding element extending from a conductive pad engages the conductive elements through the non-conductive surface when the protruding element is coupled to a cavity formed in the chassis. Alternatively, the protruding element extends from the chassis to couple to a cavity in the conductive pad. Processing components have electrical communication with the chassis through the conductive pad.
