摘要： A hot plug switch mechanism includes a card chassis and a motherboard in the chassis, the motherboard including a power bus, a plurality of connectors for connecting to a corresponding plurality of circuit boards and separate power switches connected between the power bus and each connector, each switch having an open position and a closed position. The switch mechanism also includes a plurality of actuator assemblies on the chassis corresponding to the plurality of switches on the motherboard each actuator assembly adapted to close the corresponding switch on the motherboard when the corresponding connector is connected to a circuit board. Preferably, each power switch is a Hall Effect switch and each actuator assembly includes a magnet which may be moved into proximity to the corresponding switch when the corresponding connector is connected to the circuit board.

摘要： An equipment cabinet employs a rack-mountable equipment enclosure surrounded by a base, a cap, and front and rear covers. Each cover consists of a bezel and a door reversibly mounted thereon via removable hinge pins. The bezels have sidewalls that rest against ledges on the edges of the enclosure to receive support therefrom. The door has a centrally-located latch, the latch having a pawl with an eccentric catch portion that engages a latch opening on a ledge extending from the bezel. The pawl also has a tab that rests between the ends of an arcuate raised portion on the rear of the door to limit the rotational travel of the pawl. The base, cap, and covers are configured so that the enclosure is surrounded by hollows forming a peripheral passageway for cabling and the like. The base and cap have front and rear handle-like projections through which cables may be routed, and the covers have inward-facing snap tabs that engage the handle-like projections to secure the covers to the base and cap. The covers also have side access panels for inter-cabinet cabling. Clips are used to secure adjacent cabinets together; these clips attach to the handle-like projections and also pass through the access openings. Each clip is made of stamped sheet metal bent to have a C-shaped body and central spacing members. The ends of the clip have bent tips to retain the clip when installed, and the spacing members cooperate with the ends to maintain fixed separation between adjacent cabinets. The cabinet also has elongated L-shaped feet that may be installed with either an outward orientation to minimize any tendency of a single unit to tip over, or with an inward orientation to enable adjacent cabinets to be closely spaced without interference between their feet.
