Embodiments of the present technique are directed to a blade system. The blade system may include a first blade module comprising a first conjoining channel, and a second blade module comprising a second conjoining channel aligned with the first conjoining channel, wherein the first blade module and the second blade module are symmetrical and mechanically coupled to form a conjoined blade, wherein electrical components of the first blade module and electrical components of the second blade module are electrically coupled via an electrical coupler routed through the aligned first conjoining channel and second conjoining channel.

A flexible grounding strip includes elongated electrically conductive strip having a base extending between spaced, opposed sidewalls. At least one of the sidewalls has a flange spaced from the base and extending towards the opposed sidewall. Each of the sidewalls has a series of lengthwise-spaced slots extending widthwise across the sidewall into and at least partly across the base towards the opposed sidewall. The slot dimensions and spacing impart flexibility to enable the strip to bend transversely of its length.

A computer tower unit is provided with two cooling fans, a system cooling fan and a power supply cooling fan, that draw ambient air through the unit via a pair of upper and lower exterior wall air inlet openings disposed opposite the two fans to cool a horizontally oriented motherboard, a power supply unit, disc drives and expansion cards disposed in the unit. The need for a separate fan to cool the disc drives is eliminated by a specially designed air flow control baffle disposed within the unit. The baffle functions to cause cooling air drawn into the unit through the lower air inlet opening by the system cooling fan to be drawn upwardly along a horizontal edge of the motherboard, and horizontally along its top side upon which a processor is mounted, before being discharged by the fan, and also cause a portion of the air drawn into the unit through the upper inlet opening by the system cooling fan to be drawn through the disc drive mounting area within the unit to thereby cool the system disc drives without the use of a separate drive unit cooling fan. The baffle is preferably formed from a transparent plastic material, and is mounted within the tower unit in a manner such that, with a housing access wall of the unit removed, the baffle may be pivoted outwardly to permit easy service access to the motherboard.

A power switch cover having an elongate base member with a track formed therein and adapted to support a sliding member which includes an end portion to protect a recessed switch. The switch is accessible through the base member and once turned on is protected by the sliding member. The sliding member includes at least one spring for biasing the sliding member against the base member and provides for continuous contact of said sliding member with the track of said base member. A top member is inserted over the sliding member and the base member to provide the contact points for the spring thereby biasing the sliding member against the recessed track.
摘要:
A computer chassis comprising a chassis base and first and second drawers removably engaged with the chassis base. An interface board is mounted to the first drawer so as to couple to a first electrical component when the first electrical component is located in the first drawer. The second drawer has a connector mounted so as to couple to a second electrical component when the second electrical component is located in the second drawer. The connector engages the interface board so as to couple the first electrical component to the second electrical component when the first and second electrical components are located in the respective first and second drawers.
摘要:
A card guide assembly for isolating printed circuit boards from each other during insertion and removal from a mounting array. The assembly includes first and second isolation channels that are configured to permit the receipt of a variety of PC board sizes therein and a securement cap for receipt thereover. The cap may be adjustably positioned within the isolation channels for establishing a secured mounting for a variety of PC board sizes. A locking mechanism is provided between the cap and the channels for secured engagement therebetween. The channels are mounted on opposite sides of the PC board connector region permitting conventional mounting of the PC board into a mounting connector.

The need for a separate fan to cool the disc drives is eliminated by a specially designed air flow control baffle disposed within the unit. The baffle functions to cause cooling air drawn into the unit through the lower air inlet opening by the system cooling fan to be deflected toward and be drawn upwardly along the motherboard before being discharged by the fan, and also cause a portion of the air drawn into the unit through the upper inlet opening by the system cooling fan to be drawn through the disc drive mounting area within the unit to thereby cool the system disc drives without the use of a separate drive unit cooling fan.
