    Abstract: A rail mounting assembly for supporting a pair of electrical components on a case of a server is disclosed. The assembly includes a first mounting structure for receiving a first electrical component; a second mounting structure for receiving a second electrical component; and a single rail fixed between the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure, the single rail having an I-shaped cross-section. The single rail includes a first groove configured to engage with the first electrical component when the first electrical component is mounted to the first mounting structure, and a second groove configured to engage with the second electrical component when the second electrical component is mounted to the second mounting structure. A distance between the first electrical component engaged with the first groove and the second electrical component engaged with the second groove is less than 5 mm, preferably equal to or less than 4 mm.

    Abstract: A lie-flat cable clip is disclosed that has a base and first and second hooks. The first hook and second hooks are coupled to the base and are rotatable between open and closed clip positions. The first hook has a first arm and a first extension. The first arm is connected to the base at a proximal end and is connected to the first extension at a distal end. The first extension has an aperture. The second hook has a second arm and a second extension. The second arm is connected to the base at a proximal end and is connected to the second extension at a distal end, the second extension having a projection. The first hook and the second hook are configured to couple together in the closed clip position and to lie flat to be co-planar with the base in the open clip position.

    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 cable distribution box includes a base plate, a proximal wall extending from a first side of the base plate, a distal wall extending from a second side of the base plate, a latch formed on a third side of the base plate, and a cover plate extending from the proximal wall. The latch is configured to secure the cable distribution box to a chassis. The cover plate has a center portion that projects towards the base plate, such that the center portion is configured to wrap a cable thereon. The cover plate is foldable along a length of the proximal wall, relative to the base plate in a clamshell fashion, to enclose the wrapped cable between the cover plate and the base plate. The cover plate includes a locking mechanism that is configured to engage the distal wall, and secure the cover plate onto the base plate.

    Abstract: A mounting system is disclosed that includes a bracket configured to mount an object on a structure. The bracket includes a front panel, two side panels extending from the front panel, and a plurality of slots. Each slot is configured to accept a projection connected to the object and retain the projection within the slot. The bracket further includes a plurality of apertures. The mounting system further includes a retainer configured to extend into the bracket through the plurality of apertures and prevent, at least in part, the plurality of projections, retained by the bracket in the plurality of slots, from being withdrawn from the plurality of slots.

    Abstract: A power supply assembly includes a power supply unit disposed within a housing and an adjustable plate module movably disposed on a floor thereof. The adjustable plate module includes a plate, a shaft, a stopper panel, and a compressible device. The plate has two planar surfaces positioned at different heights with respect to the floor. The shaft is fixedly coupled to and extends outwardly from the plate. The shaft is configured to move between a first position and a second position to transition a connector between the planar surfaces. The stopper panel is disposed adjacent to a distal end of the shaft and has an opening therein for accommodating the shaft. The compressible device is disposed around the shaft such that a displacement of the plate causes the compressible device to compress against the stopper panel and facilitate movement of the shaft from the first position to the second position.

    Abstract: A connector clip is disclosed. The connector clip includes a base, a cover, a hinge coupling the cover and the base, and a fastener. The base has a first base side joined to a second base side via a connecting base side. The cover has a first cover side joined to a second cover side via a connecting cover side. The fastener holds the first base side and the first cover side in a fixed position when the connector clip is in a closed configuration in which the connecting base side is parallel to the connecting cover side. An internal cable opening is formed in part by the connecting base side and the connecting cover side when the connector clip is in the closed configuration. The connector clip secures a cable passing through the internal cable opening and connected to a board in its place in the closed configuration.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure include a support frame having a rear side, a bottom section, a connector bracket, a first perimeter section, a second perimeter section, and a rotatable bracket. The bottom section defines a width of the support frame. The connector bracket extends upright from the bottom section. The first perimeter section and the second perimeter section extend upright from opposing ends of the bottom section. The first perimeter section and the second perimeter section are substantially parallel to the connector bracket. The rotatable bracket is rotatably coupled at one end to the first perimeter section. The rotatable bracket is configured, at another end, to removably couple to the connector bracket, thereby enclosing an opening when the rotatable bracket is in a closed configuration. The opening is defined by the first perimeter section, a portion of the bottom section, the connector bracket, and the rotatable bracket.

    Abstract: An integrated latch apparatus for a securing and releasing computer equipment from a chassis includes a support bracket, a rotating shaft, a sliding plate having a latching extension, and a handle having a rotating end. The handle is secured at the rotating end to the support bracket about the rotating shaft. The rotating end of the handle includes nudging extensions. A torsion spring is disposed on the rotating shaft such that the torsion spring biases the support bracket against the handle such that the handle is in an open position when the torsion spring is extended towards an equilibrium state and in a closed position when the torsion spring is biased toward a fully compressed state. The nudging extensions engage and laterally move a sliding plate when the handle is rotated between the open position and the closed position.
