    Abstract: A drive tray assembly is disclosed for placing drives (e.g., hard disk drives) in a computer chassis in a rotated orientation and without the need for additional tools. A tray base holding a drive can be slid into a receiving space of the chassis in a longitudinal direction. An installation lever rotatably attached to the tray base includes a shaft that engages a corresponding receiving slot of the receiving space. After the tray base is inserted, rotation of the installation lever to a closed position causes the tray base, and thus the drive, to move in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A release lever rotatably attached to the tray base can secure the installation lever in the closed position until the release lever is rotated, freeing the installation lever to move to the open position in which the drive tray may be removed from the chassis.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cover configured to fit over computer components in a computer chassis. The cover can have a plurality of doors located over the computer components such that the computer components can be easily inserted or removed from the chassis when a corresponding door is open. The cover can be shaped in a such a way so as to define airflow passages around the computer components. The doors can be configured to pivot open, slide open, or snap into and out of the cover.

    Abstract: An air-duct assembly for a server comprises a main portion and an extension piece. The main portion has a first end region for receiving air from a fan and a second end region with a first attachment feature. The extension piece has a second attachment feature for mating with the first attachment feature. The extension piece guides the air from the second end region of the main portion to a terminal end of the extension piece. The air-duct assembly can be used with a first heat exchanger in a first configuration in which the extension piece is mated to the main portion, and the first heat exchanger is located within the extension piece. The air-duct assembly can also be used with a second heat exchanger in a second configuration in which only the main portion is used by itself and the second heat exchanger is located within the main portion.

    Abstract: A computer chassis can include a top cover that can be secured and removed without the need for tools. Sidewalls of a chassis base can include receiving slots that receive bosses of the top cover. A latch receiver mounted to a bottom surface of the chassis base can receive a sliding body of a latch assembly of the top cover. The computer chassis can be assembled by placing the top cover on the chassis base such that the bosses are placed into the receiving slots, and such that the sliding body fits within the latch receiver. In this position, rotation of a lever of the latch assembly can force the top cover to move with respect to the chassis base, pushing the bosses of the top cover towards distal ends of the receiving slots of the chassis base, thus securing the top cover to the chassis base.

    Abstract: An air-duct module for a server comprises a main body that includes an upper wall and a plurality of side walls extending downwardly away from the upper wall. The main body further includes a plurality of channel walls extending from the upper wall and defining a cable-routing channel located within the main body. The cable-routing channel receives an electronics cable that extends across the main body. The air-duct module has an air passage for guiding air across a heat exchanger within the server. The air-duct passage is defined by the upper wall, the plurality of side walls, and at least some of the plurality of channel walls.

    Abstract: In the production of certain components, the components must pass through an existing treating device with limited clearance. This limited clearance will cause unwanted physical contact between the component and the existing treatment apparatus, such as a reflow oven for treating electronic components, such as an M.2 connector. In such a situation, it will be necessary to practice a method of separating the component into subassemblies or modules; separately treating the subassemblies or modules in the reflow oven; and then reassembling the subassemblies and modules after the reflow treatment.

    Abstract: An adaptor assembly for an OCP 2.0 form factor card for installation in a server having a side slot to accommodate OCP 3.0 form factor cards is disclosed. The adaptor assembly has an adaptor board allowing the attachment of the OCP 2.0 form factor. The adaptor board includes a socket mateable with a connector on the OCP 2.0 form factor and an edge connector mateable with a socket on the server. The assembly includes an adaptor bracket attachable to the adaptor board. The adaptor bracket has a wall that covers the side slot of the server when the adaptor assembly is inserted through the side slot.
