    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a storage device and a method of controlling a rotation speed of a fan of the storage device. The storage device comprises: a housing comprising an opening; a fan arranged at an end of the housing opposed to the opening; a tray comprising a plurality of partitions arranged in rows and being operable to be drawn out of or inserted into the housing via the opening in a longitudinal direction of the housing; a plurality of tray position detectors respectively arranged on the plurality of partitions and configured to detect a relative position of the tray with respect to the housing; and a controller adapted to adjust a rotation speed of the fan according to the relative position detected by the tray position detector. The storage device according to the present disclosure can effectively reduce the negative pressure formed in the housing, avoid or reduce the recesses of the housing, and enable the tray to be smoothly inserted into the housing, thereby avoiding damage to the disks therein.

    摘要: A card/chassis coupling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing with a chassis wall defining a card entrance to the chassis housing. The chassis wall engages a securing element on a card to secure it in the chassis housing. A card/chassis release device adjacent the card entrance includes a base in the chassis housing, and a card mover member and securing element release member that are each moveably coupled to the base and to an actuator member extending through the chassis wall. Movement of the actuator member into the chassis housing causes the securing element release member to move relative to the base to engage the securing element on the card and disengage it from the chassis wall, and causes the card mover member to move relative to the base to engage the card and move it through the card entrance and out of the chassis housing.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an enclosure for a disk array. The enclosure comprises a chassis for receiving the disk array. Each disk in the disk array is enclosed by a frame. The enclosure also comprises a heat sink including a plurality of metal bars arranged on a bottom face of the chassis. Each of the plurality of metal bars is adapted to contact a respective disk through a notch in the frame of the respective disk, to position the respective disk and to transfer heat generated by the respective disk to the chassis. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the metal bars may be used not only for reliable positioning of the disks, but also for improving thermal dissipation performance.
