    摘要: A stiffener for a printed circuit board where the stiffener is placed between the printed circuit board and a wall of the metal chassis in a computer system housing. The loaded printed circuit board may first be mounted on the stiffener, which, in turn, may then be mounted on the appropriate wall of the chassis along with the circuit board. Alternately, the stiffener may first be mounted on the appropriate chassis wall, and the circuit board may then be mounted on the stiffener. Additional circuit components may then be added onto the circuit board. The lies between the circuit board and the wall of the chassis on which the circuit board is being mounted. The back plane support provided by the stiffener may reduce damage to the conducting paths of the printed circuit board due to pressures exerted during component mounting, manufacture, transportation, etc. Additionally, a circuit board carrying densely populated electronic components may be easily mounted on or removed from the chassis without damage. Adequate board-to-chassis grounding may also be accomplished through the sheet metal stiffener frame. Horizontal and vertical struts in the stiffener frame may provide additional stiffness and rigidity in the vicinity of the high density connectors on the circuit board. Besides increased stability, unusually tight tolerances on the flatness of the circuit board surface near high density connectors may be achieved with the support provided by the stiffener.

    摘要: A computer system housing with a curved bezel that forms one or more sideways gap between a side of the computer housing chassis and the bezel attached to that side. Typically, the curved bezel is attached to the front of the chassis with each sideways gap extending perpendicularly from the front of the chassis to a predetermined width and stretching to predetermined length along the front of the chassis. The sideways gaps facilitate increased air inlet from the sides and allow efficient cooling of various system components that are mounted on the chassis and housed within the housing. One or more cooling fans may be mounted at different locations within the housing to optimize air circulation and, hence, cooling within the housing. The chassis may be partitioned into two separate sub-chassis for proper positioning of the cooling fans as well as to accommodate changes in computer system configurations with minimized retooling of the chassis.

    摘要: An assembly is disclosed which enables a printed circuit board (PCB) to be added to or removed from a computer system without deactivating other parts of the system. The assembly, which holds the PCB, translates lateral motion into vertical motion to enable lateral motion to be applied to derive the vertical motion needed to plug and unplug a PCB into and out of an expansion slot. This motion translation makes it possible to insert or remove a PCB via a rear, front, or side access portal of a housing rather than through the top of the housing. Thus, the assembly eliminates the need to remove the housing from a rack, or to remove a top from the housing, which in turn eliminates the need to shut down any other parts of the system. Thus, the assembly enables a PCB to be “hot swapped” into and out of a computer system.

    摘要: A fan tray assembly for an electronics enclosure includes two opposing, spaced apart shells made of a sheet material. The opposing shells are attached to each other by attachment features formed in the sheet material of each shell. Advantageously, the attachment features reduce or eliminate the need for separate fasteners, spring steels, or adhesives to attach the shells. Each shell has openings and grills. Each shell also has retention features formed in the sheet material around a periphery of their respective grills. A ventilation fan unit (e.g., two fans) is retained between the two shells by the retention features. An electrical connector is connected to the ventilation fan and retained by at least one of the shells. The shells may also include features for retaining the electrical connector without using fasteners or adhesives. Such features may allow the connector to float in a plane perpendicular to its principal axis of alignment. The assembly may additionally include a handle for detaching the assembly to the electronic enclosure.

    摘要: An easy to engage and disengage dual height card retainer that facilitates removal of daughterboards is disclosed. Daughterboards have a two-tier staggered arrangement above the motherboard. Each daughterboard has a signal transfer end that electrically connects to the motherboard through one of the dual height bus connectors, and a back panel connector end that couples to the back panel with an accessory connector or with a filler panel that functions as an electromagnetic interference shield. Dual height card retainers that require no tools to operate function as retaining means to prevent daughterboards from working lose from bus connectors during shipment.
