A mounting adapter a peripheral device. A strip is adapted to fit across the top or bottom of the device transversely. First and second device engagement tabs engage holes on left and right sides of the device, and first and second chassis engagement tabs engage holes on left and right sides of a chassis opening. The chassis engagement tabs and one of the device engagement tabs are disposed on arms that can be moved elastically in the transverse direction to engage and disengage the tabs with their corresponding holes. The adapter can be fashioned from a unitary piece of metal, and adds only the thickness of the strip to the vertical dimension of the peripheral device.

A tool-less latch mechanism for attaching a panel to an enclosure for electronic equipment such as a computer. A lever is mounted to a first enclosure component at a pivot point and is operable to move in a pivot plane. A pawl extends from the lever substantially orthogonal to the pivot plane, and an arcuate slot is fixed on a second enclosure component. When the lever pivots from an open to a closed position, engagement of the pawl with a first surface of the slot causes relative movement between the enclosure components in a first longitudinal direction. When the lever pivots from the closed to the open position, engagement of the pawl with a second surface of the slot causes relative movement between the enclosure components in an opposite longitudinal direction.

A latch assembly is operable to catch automatically and is releasable by hand. A component frame defines a clearance hole and a stop. A latch, also with a clearance hole, is mounted to the frame so that the clearance holes overlap. The latch is biased against the stop but is capable of pivoting away from the stop responsive to hand-applied pressure. A peg having a groove underneath a sloping top is mounted to a chassis or other surface against which the component frame is to be retained. As the component frame is lowered over the peg, an edge of the latch contacts the top of the peg, causing the latch to pivot so that the frame may be lowered into place. When the frame is in place, the latch pivots back and snaps into the groove.

An embodiment of a system and method disaggregate I/O resources from a server's compute resources, such as CPU and memory, by moving the server's local I/O devices to a remote location apart from the server's compute resources. An embodiment uses optical technology to accomplish the fast communication speeds needed between the compute resources and the remotely located I/O resources. Specifically, an embodiment uses fiber-optic cables and electrical-to-optical conversion to facilitate communication between the compute resources and the I/O resources. The compute resources and the remotely located I/O resources can be designed differently to allow conductive liquid cooling for the compute resources and air cooling for the I/O resources.

A drive loading system comprises a chassis adapted to receive at least one drive. The drive loading system also comprises a carrier adapted to support insertion of the drive into the chassis in a first direction. The carrier is further adapted to move the drive in a second direction different than the first direction to engage the drive with a socket.

An electronic device having a processor assembly. The electronic device comprising a first device connectable to the processor assembly a socket assembly adapted to receive the processor assembly, the socket assembly comprising an actuator operable to secure the processor assembly to the socket assembly; and a movable member adapted to prevent the actuator from being operated with the first device connected to the processor assembly An assembly for coupling a processor to an actuatable socket assembly. The assembly comprises a first member adapted to receive the processor and a second member movable relative to the first member. The second member is adapted to prevent the socket assembly from being actuated when the second member is disposed in a first position.

A system and method for situating a disk drive is provided. One embodiment comprises a system for situating a disk drive within a chassis. The system comprises a disk drive unit comprising a drive bracket coupled to the disk drive, as well as a lever member movably coupled to the drive bracket. The system further comprises a drive guide coupled to the chassis. There earlier-mentioned lever member is operable to engage the drive guide when the disk drive unit is being situated within the chassis. Furthermore, the system enables the situating of the disk drive unit within the chassis along a plane other than a plane along which a connector of the disk drive mates with a connector disposed within the chassis.
