    摘要: A rack mounted computer system has a vertically elongated cabinet structure in which a specially designed server unit is mounted. The server unit includes a slide-out outer drawer having a power supply box mounted in a lower interior portion thereof. An inner tray is slidably mounted in an upper interior portion of the outer drawer, over the power supply box, and has a system planar board and associated riser cards mounted on its top side. When the outer drawer is pulled out service access is provided to the circuit board apparatus on the inner tray. Access is provided to the power supply box by simply sliding the inner tray rearwardly relative to the opened outer drawer to expose the power supply box. Cooling fans are carried on the inner tray and within the outer drawer to cool the various computer components mounted within the server unit by flowing cooling air generally horizontally therethrough. The cabinet structure is provided with a front access door and a rear panel having ventilation openings therein. During operation of the server unit cooling fans, ambient air is sequentially drawn inwardly through the front access door ventilation openings, horizontally flowed through the server unit, and then horizontally discharged through the ventilation openings in the rear panel of the cabinet structure.

    摘要: A series of hard disk drives are secured atop molded plastic support trays slidably and removably received in opposing guide channel member pairs snap-fitted into opposite side walls of a sheet metal cage structure externally used in conjunction with a file server or other computer device. Snap-fitted into rear end portions of the trays are small printed circuit boards that are insertable into hot plug sockets at the rear of the cage. Forwardly projecting guard plates on the rear end of the cage block manual access to the board/socket interface, and the surface mounted grounding leads on the board extend rearwardly beyond its signal leads to enhance grounding safety during disk drive installation and removal. At the front end of each tray is a vertical support plate upon which LED indicating lights are conveniently mounted for the associated disk drive. Each guide channel member has a metal grounding clip portion that is pressed against the adjacent cage wall and is contacted by grounding portions of the disk drive and support tray as they are slid into the housing. To assist in installing and removing each disk drive, its associated support tray is provided at its front corners with pivotable ejection latch members removably and self-lockingly secured thereto using a molded connection structure that eliminates the requirement for attachment screws or rivets.

    摘要: A system to mount several electronic devices within a one EIA unit high rackspace is presented. The system includes a mounting chassis that is securely fastened to a standard 19″ EIA electronics rack. The chassis includes dividers that define at least two full length ports in which the electronic devices are slidably engaged. Furthermore, each port defined by the mounting tray includes hot-pluggable, blind-mate sockets to receive corresponding hot-pluggable, blind-mate connectors upon each electronics package. These packages are engaged and disengaged to and from the ports within the rack at will, thus allowing for more servers to be efficiently and accessibly stored within the confines of a 1-U rackspace with interchangeability than was previously possible.

    摘要: A power supply unit includes a housing in which one or more power supply modules can be inserted and a modular AC input section. The modular AC input section preferably attaches to the distal end of the housing from where the power supply modules are inserted. The AC input section includes one or more circuit breakers, connectors and wiring connecting the breakers to the connectors. The connectors preferably comprise blind mating connectors that mate with corresponding connectors on the rear surface of the power supply modules. The AC input section is screwed to the power supply housing or attached through some other suitable means. The AC input section is modular in the sense that it can be easily and quickly removed from the power supply unit and replaced with another section. This permits upgrades and repairs to be made in a quick, cost effective manner.

    摘要: A modular computer chassis for both rack mounting and free standing use comprising a housing adapted for receipt of a plurality of computer modules in a secured array. The modules are selectively accessible only through a cover panel door which may be locked to secure the integrity of the array. The modules are mounted in the chassis on individual slides which afford alignment and stability in the assembly thereof. Additionally, the modularity affords interchangeability with rack-mounted systems for maximizing the efficiency of operation and the effectiveness of installation and service. Problems within the system can thus be addressed by removing and replacing individual modules in a configuration which affords reliability and easy access.
