Systems and methods for reducing problems and disadvantages associated with traditional approaches to cooling information handling resources are provided. A method for cooling information handling resources, may include conveying a flowing fluid proximate to one or more information handling resources such that the flowing fluid is thermally coupled to the one or more information handling resources and heat generated by the one or more information handling resources is transferred to the flowing fluid. The method may also include conveying the flowing fluid to a cooling unit such that heat is transferred from the flowing fluid.

A card coupling system includes a card having an electrical coupler and defining a plurality of extension member coupling holes. An extension member is operable to couple to the card and includes a base. A plurality of card engagement members extend from a first edge of the base, each card engagement member operable to be located in a respective extension member coupling hole in order to couple the extension member to the card. A mounting plate extends from a second edge of the base and defines at least one mounting hole. The card may be a half size form factor card and may be coupled to a full size form factor card connector by engaging the card connector with the electrical coupler, coupling the card engagement members to respective extension member coupling holes, and securing the mounting plate to the card connector through the at least one mounting hole.

Card coupling system

A chassis mounting system includes a support section that is operable to be coupled to a structure. The support section includes a first arm extending from the support section. A second arm extends from the support section and is moveable relative to the first arm such that the distance between the first arm and the second arm may be varied in order to apply a gripping force on the structure when the structure is located between the first arm and the second arm. A locking device is operable to restrict the movement of the second arm relative to the first arm in order to secure the support section to the structure when the gripping force has been applied. A coupling section support member is located on the support section. A coupling section is operable to be mounted to a chassis. The coupling section includes a coupling member that is operable to engage the coupling section support member in order to couple the coupling section to the support section such that the support section supports the coupling section.

Chassis mounting system

A security device includes a cable securing member defining a slot between an open first end and a closed second end. A channel is provided in the slot and a rib adjacent the channel protrudes into the slot. The open first end includes a tab receiver and a lock receiver. The tab receiver engages a tab attached to a chassis. A cable extending through the channel is not removable due to a lock inserted into the lock receiver and blocking the open first end.

Compact security device for systems and peripherals

A support for a floor standing chassis includes a pair of spaced apart support members mounted on a support surface of the chassis. A support stand includes a first end operable for keyed engagement with a first one of the support members, and in response to the keyed engagement, a second end of the support stand is aligned for releasable engagement with the second support member. A pair of feet extend laterally from the stand.

Tip-resisting stand for floor standing chassis

A component bay system includes a first component bay having a first bay chassis coupling member and first bay stacking member. The system also includes a second component bay having a second bay chassis coupling member. The first bay chassis coupling member is operable to couple to a chassis by engaging the chassis. The second bay chassis coupling member is operable to couple to either of the chassis, by engaging the chassis, and to the first component bay, by engaging the first bay stacking member. In an embodiment, the first component bay and the second component bay are identical and allow the component bay system to be added to a chassis to support multiple configurations for modular components.

A product badge coupled to a product, such as an information handling system, has a manually-selectable orientation to allow the orientation of the product badge to change for adapting to changes in the orientation of the product. A product badge support rotationally couples the product badge to the product for user selection of a desired orientation of product information, such as a manufacturer logo or a product identification number. Manual activation to change product badge orientation includes pushing the product badge into the product badge support to engage opposing cams, pushing the product badge edge to rotate the product badge to an opposing side having product information of another orientation, and pushing the product badge to activate a retention mechanism for release and retention of a selected of plural clips.

Information handling system product badge orientation system and method

A riser retention apparatus includes a board. A component connector is mounted to the board. A support frame is coupled to the board adjacent the component connector and extends from the board. A riser guide is located on the support frame and operable to engage a riser and guide a riser connector on the riser toward the component connector. A riser retention member is operable to couple to the support frame to provide a retaining force to a riser in order to retain the riser connector in engagement with the component connector. A riser including a plurality of components coupled to it may be coupled to the component connector and the support frame and riser retention member may be used to support the riser and retain the riser in the component connector.

Riser retention system

A Y-connect fastener () is provided for firmly fastening ceiling fan blades () to mounting brackets (). A plurality of protuberant members () extend upwardly from the mounting brackets (), and have head portions () and shank portions () which fit through apertures () in the ceiling fan blades (). The fastener () has an upper surface (), a lower surface (), and peripheral edge portions () extending between the upper and lower surfaces (). Openings () are formed in the peripheral edge portions () in alignment for sliding the opening () over one of the shank portions (), and then rotating the fastener () to twist the two openings () around two of the shank portions (), pressing the fastener () between the head portions () of the protuberant members () and the upper surface of ceiling fan blade ().
