    摘要: An enclosure and method of making the same provides mounting provisions for shields of expansion cards in a general purpose computer that reduce the number of components and manufacturing steps to produce the enclosure, as well as reducing the time required to add or remove expansion cards. In particular, a housing of an enclosure incorporates a shield mount to receive a shield having an extending tongue and a lateral tab. A specific example of such a shield is tail stock for a Peripheral Component Interconnection (PCI) expansion card. In particular, a receptor is formed into the housing for receiving the extending tongue of the shield. A support member extends outward from the enclosure to abut an outwardly bent tab of the shield that projects out of the panel through a tab opening adjacent to the support member. The support member includes a locking detent that fits within a locking recess in the tab of the shield. A cover of the enclosure mounts to the housing and includes a cover projection that abuts the tab of the shield from a disengagement direction, cooperating with the support member to lock the tab of the shield in place when the cover is installed.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for blind docking an electronic device or module with an electrical connector, for example within a rack for a computer system. A forwardly-directed power connector is secured to a distal end of at least one rail or shelf bracket for blind docking with a rearwardly-directed power connector on the electronic module. The shelf bracket securing the forwardly-directed electrical connector is included in a pair of longitudinally-extending shelf brackets secured to opposing vertical side walls of a rack at a common elevation to form a module bay. The electronic module may slide along the shelf bracket until a rearwardly-directed power connector of the electronic module blind docks with the forwardly-directed power connector. A boss or alignment stud may be included on the bracket to improve alignment of the connectors. The forwardly-direct electrical connector may also be secured to the bracket with a floating connection to enable minor adjustments in alignment during blind docking.

    摘要: A cable management system for a rack-mounted electronic system including an elongate cable guide plate securable to a rack and having opposing first and second, longitudinally-extending flanges. An array of cable alignment tabs are disposed on the cable guide plate between the opposing flanges and arranged in longitudinally-oriented columns and laterally-oriented rows. Adjacent columns are sufficiently spaced to receive two or more cables against the cable guide plate and adjacent rows are sufficiently spaced to receive one or more cables. Each of a plurality of cable-fastening straps are configured for being selectively secured across the cable guide plate from the first flange to the opposing second flange.

    摘要: A cooling system for a host device affords enhanced reliability using multiple blower units mounted in parallel between a low pressure plenum and a high pressure plenum and a control system that senses when a blower unit is failing or has failed and responds by shutting down the failed unit and increasing the speed of the remaining blowers to maintain the air flow volume delivered to the cooling path. To maintain the integrity of the cooling air path while affording continuous operation of the host device, a spring biased closure door seals the access opening through which the blower is mounted when a blower unit is removed and displaced by the blower unit to an inoperative position against the biasing force of the spring when the blower unit is installed or replaced. To prevent recirculation through a vacated blower unit mounting space, a one way air flow device, in the form of a shutter assembly including plural pivoting louvers or vanes is mounted at the exhaust location of each blower. Thus the cooling air delivery is maintained and a blower unit can be removed for maintenance or replacement without interruption or impairment of host device operation.

    摘要: A rack for supporting electronic devices and modules with adjustable rails. The rack has a vertical wall with a set of holes at various elevations, each set of holes including at least a proximal hole evenly spaced apart from a distal hole. A longitudinally-extending rail has a set of clips for selectively securing the rail to the vertical wall, wherein the set of clips includes at least a proximal clip selectively receivable in the proximal hole at a selected elevation for supporting a proximal end of the rail and a distal clip selectively receivable in the distal hole at the selected elevation for supporting a distal end of the rail. The system may include a second rail for securing to an opposing vertical wall of the rack to form a shelf or bay for an electronic device. Each rail may be latched in place and can be selectively installed and removed without use of tools.
