Example implementations relate to a latch and a computing system including such latch. The latch may include a latch enclosure and a latch assembly housed at least partially within the latch enclosure. The latch assembly may include a lever mounted to the latch enclosure via a first pivot pin and having a handle section disposed outside the latch enclosure and a force transfer section integrated with the handle section and disposed inside the latch enclosure. Further, the latch may include a hook engaged with the lever and mounted at least partially within the latch enclosure via a second pivot pin, wherein a movement of the lever about the first pivot pin causes a movement of the hook about the second pivot pin via the force transfer section.

A solid-state drive (SSD) carrier comprises a front structure, a first side structure extending perpendicularly from a first end of the front structure, and a second side structure extending perpendicularly from a second end of the front structure. The front structure and the first and second side structures defining an internal volume sufficient to contain an SSD conforming to any one of a plurality of different SSD form factors. At least one light pipe extends through in the front structure, and is configured to direct light from an indicator LED on a front face of the SSD to a location on a front face of the front structure.

A cable management arm extension, comprising: a plate including apertures to allow for mounting a cable retainer; a first hinged section to connect to a first section of a cable management arm and to a first side of the plate; and a second hinged section to connect to a second section of a cable management arm and to a second of the plate.

Cable management arm extension

A cable management arm, comprising: a first cable management arm to connect to a first connector of a first rail kit of a computing device and a second cable management arm to connect to a second connector of the first rail kit of the computing device; a connector to pivotally attach to the first cable management arm and the second cable management arm; and a rail kit comprising: a retainer to connect to a connector of a second rail kit of the computing device; an inner slide, wherein the inner slide is pivotally connected to the retainer; and an outer slide, wherein the outer slide is slidably connected to the inner slide, wherein the rail kit pivotally attaches to the connector via a pin.

A base chassis supports a set of storage cages. The base chassis includes a front portion that is removably attachable to a first storage cage. The base chassis also includes an extension portion. The extension portion has a first end that is fixedly attachable to the front portion to extend a length of the base chassis to support an additional storage cage when the first storage cage is detached from the front portion. The extension portion also has a second end that is attachable to the first storage cage to support the first storage cage.

Examples described herein include an assembly. The assembly may be a heatsink assembly or some other cooling assembly (for example, a liquid cooling assembly). The heatsink or cooling assembly may include a heatsink or some other cooling means, such as a liquid cooling device. The heatsink or cooling assembly may include a base. The heatsink itself may connect to a base or the bottom of the heatsink may form the base. The base may interface or connect to a bolster plate. The base may interface or connect to a bolster plate via apertures in the base and fasteners included on the base and the bolster plate. The heatsink or cooling assembly may include one or more apertures to accept one or more guide pins and/or retention pins on the bolster plate. The base may include retention mechanisms positioned over the apertures to attach to retention pins on the bolster plate. The retention pins may be the guide pins with retention features.

Examples described herein include air impeding structures with snap-in tabs. In some examples, an air impeding structure for a processing unit socket cover includes a main body encloses an interior space, a first snap-in tab, and a second snap-in tab. The main body may include a first curved wall at a first end of the main body connected to a second curved wall at a second end of the main body. The first snap-in tab extends below the first end of the main body and is recessed in relation to the first curved wall. The second snap-in tab extends below the second end of the main body and is recessed in relation to the second curved wall.

A server chassis installable in a server rack may include a lower compartment, an upper compartment, and an interconnector. The lower compartment may have a front end defining a front opening configured to allow for the passage of a server therethrough. The upper compartment may define a top opening substantially orthogonal to the front opening and may be configured to allow for the passage of a plurality of storage cartridges therethrough. The interconnector may have a first set of connectors communicatively coupled with a second set of connectors. The first set of connectors may be configured to mate with the server, and the second set of connectors may be configured to mate with the storage cartridges, such that the interconnector allows for the removal of the server without the removal of the storage cartridges.

Server chassis for servers

A server rack ramp includes an upper ramp section, a lower ramp section and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly may include a body and arms. The lower ramp section may be pivotally connected to the body of the linkage assembly by a first hinge. The body of the linkage assembly may be connected to the arms by a second hinge. The arms of the linkage assembly may be connected to the upper ramp section by a third hinge. The lower and upper ramp sections may be movable between a folded position and an unfolded position via the linkage assembly. When the upper ramp section is unfolded, the lower and upper ramp sections are moveable longitudinally relative to one another via rotation of the arms relative to the main body of the linkage assembly and relative to the upper ramp section.
