    Abstract: Described herein is a server that includes a server chassis having a front window for providing access to an interior receptacle of the server chassis. A docking station is located in the interior receptacle. The server also includes a PCIe module coupled to the docking station by a coupling element. The PCIe module protrudes externally from the interior receptacle through the front window in the docked position. The PCIe module can be moved to a plurality of undocked positions while remaining coupled to the docking station.

    Abstract: An air baffle for optimizing thermal performance of memory components provided in a chassis is disclosed. The air baffle has a body and one or more venting units provided on the body. The body is configured to be removably coupled to the chassis. The body covers the memory components when coupled to the chassis. The one or more venting units direct air flowing through the chassis. Each of the venting units includes vent openings and a corresponding number of adjustable venting plates. The vent openings are each aligned with the memory components when the body is coupled to the chassis. Each of the adjustable venting plates have an open position or a closed position. A respective venting plate of the adjustable venting plates in the open position allows airflow through a respective vent opening of the vent openings. The respective venting plate of the adjustable venting plates in the closed position blocks airflow through the respective vent opening of the vent openings.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a removable cable arm bracket for attachment to an inner rail of a computer system. The cable arm bracket includes a spring sheet that can be biased for securing and removing the cable arm bracket from the inner rail. The spring sheet secures a projection from the inner rail within an aperture of the cable arm bracket to secure the cable arm bracket to the inner rail. Biasing of the spring sheet allows the projection to be removed from the aperture.

    Abstract: A system and method for dynamic reconfiguration of at least one peripheral bus switch of a system includes a management controller that detects whether a server system is connected to each peripheral bus slot of the system. The management controller selects a peripheral bus switch topology for the at least one peripheral bus switch, based on the detecting. The management controller sets each port of the at least one peripheral bus switch to either an upstream port configuration or a downstream port configuration, based on the peripheral bus switch topology.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a partition in a chassis, which can transition between at least two positions to receive more than one configuration of modules. The partition can include a first end and a second end, each of which has resting positions adjacent to the chassis body. The partition can further include a middle portion, which is in a raised position above the floor of the chassis body, but can bend flexibly towards the floor. In a first configuration of the chassis, a single, larger module can slide over the partition. In a second configuration of the chassis, two smaller modules can slide into adjacent positions in the chassis body, separated by the partition.

    Abstract: A server includes a housing, a sled, a cable sleeve mounted to the sled, and an obstruction in the housing. The housing defines a sled channel and a cable channel. The sled can be inserted into the sled channel. A cable is positioned in the cable sleeve. The obstruction is aligned with the cable channel. Prior to the sled being inserted into the housing, the cable sleeve is in a first position aligned with the obstruction and the cable channel. As the sled is inserted into the housing, contact between the cable sleeve and the obstruction moves the cable sleeve to a second position. In the second position, the cable sleeve is not aligned with the obstruction and is positioned in the sled channel. The cable sleeve is biased towards the first position. As the cable sleeve travels past the obstruction, the cable sleeve moves back to the first position.
