    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: A partition for separating computer components in an apparatus holding the computer components is provided. The partition includes a body with a first side and a second side; one or more top tabs projecting from both the first side and the second side of the body; one or more bottom tabs projecting from the first side of the body; and one or more bottom protrusions projecting from the second side of the body. The one or more top tabs are secured in a first manner, e.g., through rivets, to a first panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom tabs are secured in the first manner to a second panel of the apparatus. The one or more bottom protrusions are secured in a second manner to the second panel of the apparatus, e.g., tucking a protrusion under the second panel. The features allow different-sized compartments for different storage form factors.

    Abstract: A carrier for different form factors for insertion in a slot of a computing device is disclosed. The different form factors have different thicknesses defined by the E1.S specification. The carrier includes a base holding a first type of form factor. A bezel is configurable for insertion in a slot for a device of the first type of form factor. The bezel has an attachment surface. The base is attachable to the attachment surface of the bezel. A second type of form factor is also attachable to the attachment surface of the bezel. A cover encloses the first type of form factor when joined to the base. The base and cover are discarded when the second type of form factor is attached to the bezel. The attached bezel and second type of form factor may also be inserted in the slot.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a computer chassis design, which includes a sled and a sliding bracket. The sliding bracket includes a removable power supplier socket on a first end and a sliding return lever on the second end. When the sled is removed from the computer chassis, the removable power supplier socket can move out of the chassis via a set of mechanisms. The set of mechanisms can include an elastic element to cause the power supplier socket to automatically rotate out of the chassis. The sled can be shaped to extend behind the power supplier socket.

    Abstract: A ruler device module is disclosed that includes top and bottom plates that are parallel, with the bottom plate defining a tray where the bottom plate extends beyond the top plate. The module further includes a pair of side plates on opposite sides of, and extending between, the top and bottom plate, with each side plate including a slot. Partitions are perpendicular to and between the top and bottom plates forming bays between adjacent partitions and the top and bottom plates. A handle structure is between the top and bottom plates and includes a handle configured to rotate between a recessed position and a use position. A nut structure is between the top plate and the bottom plate. The nut structure includes an aperture configured to engage a fastener of a chassis to secure the ruler device module to the chassis.

    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: A chassis for a computing device includes a base component and a top cover. The base component includes guide slots therein. The top cover includes stamped protrusions extending from one or more side slider structures. The slider structurers extend downwardly from a top surface of the top cover. The stamped protrusions are unitary one-piece structures with the one or more side slider structures. The stamped protrusions correspond to respective guide slots of the base component such that the stamped protrusions are positioned in corresponding guide slots when the base component and the top cover are in a mating position.

    Abstract: Extendable lever arms can be used to facilitate insertion and removal of a sled into and out of a chassis. Each extendable lever can include a rotatable body, a primary arm, and a secondary arm. The rotatable body can be rotatably coupled to the housing of the sled, and can optionally include latching elements to secure the sled within the chassis, as well as optional removal features to facilitate disengaging the sled from the chassis. The secondary arm can be coupled to the primary arm to move between a retracted position and an extended position. When in the retracted position, the secondary arm can be positioned adjacent to the primary arm to avoid blocking access to ports of the sled. When in the extended position, however, the secondary arm can be positioned to provide a longer lever arm to facilitate insertion and removal of the sled.
