摘要： A computer tower has a variety of electronic components mounted within an enclosure. Power and communication-type cables extend from the enclosure for connection to a power source and peripheral components such as a monitor or operator interface. A pedestal is mounted to the lower end of the enclosure to increase the stability of the computer tower when it is placed on a level surface. The bottom of the pedestal has a recess or channel which extends all the way around the pedestal near its outer edge. The unused length of the cables may be coiled into the channel of the pedestal for temporary and aesthetically appealing storage.

摘要： A computer has a chassis with a variety of electronic components mounted to it. The chassis is generally rectangular and slidably mounted within a sheet metal enclosure. The enclosure closely receives the chassis to eliminate excessive movement therebetween. The enclosure is essentially a four-sided box with an opening at either end. A front panel is attached to one of the openings. The front panel and the enclosure each contain half of a labyrinth seal which seals one end of the enclosure when the front panel is assembled to the enclosure. A similar seal is formed at the other end of the enclosure when the chassis is mounted in the enclosure. The labyrinth seals have a folded configuration which forms an interleaving arrangement.

摘要： A method and implementing computer system enclosure is provided which includes a selectively removable base support unit which is designed to stabilize vertical mounting capabilities when the base unit is attached to the enclosure and to allow horizontal mounting of the electronics enclosure when the base unit is detached. The electronics enclosure includes a locking edge on one of its sides. The locking edge is selectively engageable with a base support unit to provide a wide footprint for stable mounting of the electronics enclosure on the side of the enclosure which has the base unit attached. In an exemplary embodiment, the locking edge is tapered to force a tight fit between the enclosure and the support base unit. A locking mechanism is also operable at one end of the support base unit-electronics enclosure interface to provide a positive stop to lock the enclosure in place relative to the support base unit.

摘要： A computer system including a computer chassis that includes a rear panel is provided. The rear panel defines a set of expansion card slots. A printed circuit board is received within the chassis includes a set of expansion card connectors aligned to the set of expansion card slots. A card retention bracket of the system includes first and second plates joined at a common end. The second plate extends substantially perpendicularly from the first plate. The first plate is adapted for being removably attached to an interior surface of the rear panel of the chassis such that the second plate extends exterior to the chassis. The second plate includes a set of card retention tabs including at least one retention tab corresponding to each expansion card slot. The retention tabs are positioned within the second plate to align an expansion card to a corresponding expansion slot and to restrict movement of the expansion card when the retention bracket first plate is attached to the rear panel of the chassis and placed in a set position. In one embodiment, the first plate includes a single hole, such as a thumbscrew that is operable with the aid of screwdrivers or other tools, for fastening the first plate to the chassis rear panel via a single fastener. In one embodiment, the retention tabs are arranged in pairs where each pair of tabs corresponds to a corresponding expansion card slot. In this arrangement, a first tab of each pair of tabs is oriented parallel to the first plate to restrict movement of the expansion card in a plane perpendicular to the chassis rear panel when the retention bracket is properly attached to the rear panel. The second tab of each pair is oriented perpendicular to the first plate to restrict movement of the expansion board in a plane approximately parallel to the rear panel. Preferably, the retention bracket including the retention tabs comprises a single piece of formed sheet metal.

摘要： A computer has an internal chassis with four wall-like frame members located at its rectangular perimeter. A variety of electronic components are mounted to the chassis within the rectangular perimeter. A bezel is mounted to an outer portion of one of the frame members and forms an exterior rear panel of the computer. The chassis is sidably mounted within an integral, five-sided enclosure having a rectangular opening at its rearward end. The enclosure closely receives the chassis to eliminate relative movement therebetween. The bezel has an integral handle with a pair of tabs which engage recesses in the enclosure when the chassis is in the enclosure. The chassis is removed from the enclosure by lifting the handle on the bezel such that the tabs disengage the recesses in the enclosure to allow the chassis to slide out of the enclosure.

摘要： An apparatus comprising a disk drive assembly and a disk drive cage for selectively receiving the disk drive assembly. The disk drive assembly includes first and second side rails secured to opposing sides of a disk drive, wherein the first side rail includes a distal end having a distally-opening slot configured to receive a rigid structure, such as a bent portion of the cage, fixedly extending from the disk drive cage. The slot in the first side rail enables the disk drive assembly to distally advance to a fully installed position within the disk drive cage. Incompatible disk drive assemblies do not include such a slot and are prevented from reaching the fully installed position. Preferably the distal end of first side rail extends beyond the distal end of the disk drive.

摘要： An apparatus for providing multi-directional signaling interface connection of a printed circuit card within a computer chassis. In one embodiment, a blind swap cartridge carries a circuit card that includes a first signaling interface connector in the form of a PCI edge connector. The edge connector is movable via a pivot point on the cartridge in a substantially transverse direction with respect to an insertion direction of said blind swap cartridge. In accordance with the present invention, a second signaling interface connector, such as a SCSI connector, is rigidly affixed to the exterior of the blind swap cartridge. The second signaling interface connector is preferably disposed on the cartridge in an orientation such that its connection direction is substantially aligned with the blind swap cartridge insertion direction. A flexible interconnect member is preferably utilized to couple the second signaling interface connector to the circuit card.

摘要： In one aspect of the invention, an assembly includes an optical-electronic die having electrically conductive pads and a submount with first and second opposing sides and a third side essentially perpendicular to the first submount side. The first and third submount sides have an adjoining edge, with electrically conductive pads on the first submount side bonded to the die pads, second electrically conductive pads on the third side of the submount, and electrically conductive traces interconnecting the first and second submount pads. The conductive traces are formed on the first and third sides and adjoining edge of the submount by a process that uses a shadow mask.
