    摘要: A chassis for a computer, computer related or other electronic device includes a door that closes an access opening in the chassis when in the closed position and permits access to the interior of the chassis when opened for a user or service technician. A latch releasably secures the door in the closed position and is operable by a user or service technician for opening the door from the closed position and closing the door from the open position without the benefit of a screwdriver, wrench or other tool. In selected embodiments, the latch is biased to account for compression reaction forces of a seal or gasket surrounding the access opening while still providing for manual manipulation of the door and access to the interior of the chassis.

    摘要: A computer comprises a chassis having an inner surface and an outer surface and a processing device contained within the chassis. A portion of the chassis inner surface is positioned proximate to the processing device, and a sheet of thermally conductive interface material is positioned between and contacts the processing device and the inner surface portion to thermally couple the processing device to the chassis so that the heat generated by the processing device is delivered to the chassis. The outer surface of the chassis is configured, such as with fins, for dissipating heat from the chassis. A phase-change material is positioned on the inner surface of the chassis and absorbs heat to further assist the chassis in heat dissipation.

    摘要: An enclosure and method for enclosing electronic devices. The enclosure includes channel-shaped members that each have a convex side and a concave side. The enclosure further includes a substantially planar outer surface and an attachment device for attaching the substantially planar outer shell to the concave side of the channel-shaped member such that a rigid, enclosed, substantially tubular structural member is formed, thereby forming a rigid chassis. Additionally, the attachment device includes a trench-shaped member, attached to said substantially planar outer shell, and located between the channel-shaped member and the substantially planar outer shell. The trench-shaped member also includes a fixed device for temporarily fixing the trench-shaped member to the concave side of the channel-shaped member. The enclosure includes four channel-shaped members, such that each channel-shaped member includes a corner post positioned within the enclosure apparatus to form a substantially rectangular structure. In addition, each trench-shaped member includes a stiffener hat section. The substantially planar outer shell includes a removable side cover assembly that has an outer surface and an inner surface, such that the stiffener hat section is affixed to the inner surface and received in an open channel of the corner post.
