An enclosure includes a base having an interior volume and a first cover attachable to the base and adapted to cover a first portion of the interior volume of the base such that, with the first cover attached to the base, a second portion of the interior volume of the base is accessible. The enclosure further includes a second cover attachable to the base and adapted to cover a second portion of the interior volume of the base, wherein the first cover in combination with the second cover covers generally all of the interior volume of the base.

Side-accessible computer system enclosure and method

An apparatus for testing an integrated circuit chip includes a printed circuit device having connector pads, contacts, and traces extending between at least some of the connector pads and the contacts. The printed circuit device has openings therethrough, intersecting the contacts, that are adapted to receive the pins extending from the integrated circuit chip so that the contacts may electrically contact the pins extending from the integrated circuit chip. The apparatus further includes a connector electrically interconnected with at least some of the connector pads. The apparatus is adapted to be disposed between the integrated circuit chip and a chip socket, such that the pins extending from the integrated circuit chip may be inserted through the printed circuit device and into the chip socket.

Integrated circuit chip test adapter

An enclosure includes a base having an interior portion defined by a first side panel and a second side panel and a frame joined to the first side panel and the second side panel such that the frame extends across the interior portion the base. A computer system includes a motherboard having a central processing unit, a power supply capable of supplying power to the motherboard, and an enclosure capable of housing the motherboard and the power supply. The enclosure includes a base having an interior portion defined by a first side panel and a second side panel and a frame joined to the first side panel and the second side panel such that the frame extends across the interior portion of the base.

Computer system and enclosure thereof

A bezel assembly for a computer enclosure includes a bezel and a hinge capable of hingedly joining the bezel to the computer enclosure. A computer system includes an enclosure, a bezel, and a hinge capable of hingedly joining the bezel to the enclosure. A method of replacing a first component with a second component in a computer system enclosure having a hinged bezel includes pivoting the hinged bezel away from the computer system enclosure and removing the first component from the computer system enclosure. The method further includes inserting the second component into the computer system enclosure and pivoting the hinged bezel toward the computer system such that the hinged bezel is adjacent the computer system enclosure.

Hinged bezel for a computer system

A cable arm for a computer system includes a first leg, a second leg hingedly joined to the first leg, and an enclosure flange hingedly joined to the second leg. The cable arm further includes a rack flange, hingedly joined to the first leg, capable of being attached to a rack for holding the computer system, an enclosure bracket capable of being attached to the computer system and capable of being attached to the enclosure flange, and a hook, extending from the second leg, capable retaining a cable attached to the computer system.
