A storage assembly for mounting '0' to 'N' storage devices to a computer or electronic system. The storage assembly has an assembly base that connects to the housing of the system, '1' to 'M' tray members that support '0' to 'N' storage devices with the '1' to 'M' tray members being connected such that they form a stack of tray members and each tray member has a least one storage device attached to it, shock mount assemblies for movably attaching the stack of tray members with the storage devices attached thereto to the base and for protecting the tray members of storage devices from normal shocks and vibrations, and severe shocks in the horizontal, vertical, and angular directions, 97 LDC board that provides regulated power to the storage devices, an interface board for transferring data to, and receiving data from, the storage devices via a cable assembly that connects to the storage devices in a daisy chain fashion, and 9 connector that connects to the interface board and the storage devices that permits connection of the storage devices and interface board to external devices.

A containment system for significantly reducing the emission of high frequency electromagnetic waves from a computer system into the external environment. The containment system includes the combination of two enclosures and a shielding assembly. One of the enclosures is associated with the high frequency components and the other with the low frequency components of the computer system. The shielding assembly is positioned between the two enclosures to prevent high frequency electromagnetic waves from passing from one chamber to the other over the connection between the two chambers.

System for reducing the emission of high frequency electromagnetic waves

An apparatus for controlling a plurality of electrical devices, each of the electrical devices including circuitry for switching the electrical device to a standby mode or an operational mode. A main control unit and a secondary control unit is provided in each of the electrical devices. When a main control unit of one electrical device is connected to a secondary control unit of a second electrical device, control of the operational state of the second electrical device is transferred to the remotely located first electrical device. When the two electrical devices are disconnected, local control of the second electrical device is maintained.

Apparatus for transferring control of a plurality of electrical devices

An integrated installation assembly for removably supporting a hardware module within a computer cabinet. The integrated installation assembly comprises a substantially ridgid frame work having interconnected top frame member and bottom frame member which has a back portion. Also included is a cover spaced from the back portion of the bottom frame member. The frame members and the front cover define an interior support space in which a hardware module can be mounted. Shock absorbing means are connected to the framework of the assembly for minimizing the vibration of the hardware module. Ventilation is provided through the front cover and the top and bottom frame member for cooling the hardware module. The front cover also includes control elements for operating the hardware module and status information elements which give operating status information about the hardware module. A self aligning connector capable of multidirectional, planar movement within certain tolerances is included for blind mating the hardware module with the computer cabinet.
