Electronic device includes a drive carrier, a drive cage, and a backplane circuit board. The drive carrier includes a front structure, a first side structure having a keying protrusion, and a second side structure, which in conjunction receives a media drive such that a rear face of the front structure abuts a front face of the drive and the keying protrusion extends beyond a rear face of the drive. The drive cage includes a drive bay and a keying flange inside the drive bay. When the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a first orientation, the keying protrusion aligns with the keying flange and prevents the drive to couple with the backplane circuit board. When the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a second orientation, the keying protrusion aligns away from the keying flange and allows the drive to couple with the backplane circuit board.

A modular rear panel system for a chassis of an electronic device includes modular brackets and modular rear panel sections. The brackets are each configured to be selectively coupled to the chassis at a corresponding one of multiple bracket mounting locations. The rear panel sections are each configured to be selectively coupled to one or more corresponding ones of the modular brackets. The brackets and the plurality of rear panel sections comprise, i.e., can be grouped into, multiple different combinations, with each combination comprising a subset of the rear panel sections and subset of the brackets that can be assembled together to form a rear panel of the chassis, with the subset of brackets coupled to the mounting locations and the subset of rear panel sections coupled to the subset of brackets. The respective rear panels formable by the plurality of combinations have mutually different rear panel configurations.

Modular rear panel system for chassis of electronic device

Example implementations relate to a compute node having a chassis with front installed trays. The chassis includes a base, a pair of walls, each coupled to a peripheral side of the base, and a first top cover portion coupled to the pair of walls to cover a portion of the chassis. The compute node further includes a plurality of first latches coupled to a rear end inner surface of the first top cover portion. The plurality of trays is slidable from a front side of the chassis and at least one tray is fastened to at least one first latch. Each tray includes a front cover, a floor coupled to the front cover, a pair of brackets coupled to the floor, a pair of risers, where each riser is coupled to a respective bracket, and a pair of GPU card assemblies, where each GPU card assembly is plugged to a respective riser.

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.

Latch for a computing system

An apparatus includes: a 1 U drive chassis divided into a plurality of compartments by a partition, the plurality of compartments including an interior compartment; an interior cage installed in the interior compartment, the interior cage including a plurality of pockets into which storage media are mounted when in use and having a back edge; a hinge by which the interior cage is rotatably mounted to the 1 U drive chassis along the back edge of the interior cage; a lift to rotate the interior cage at least partially to an open position when the first latch is released; and a latch to maintain the interior cage in a closed position and to maintain the interior cage in the opened position according to the rotation of the interior compartment.

Lift and rotating drive cage

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.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure an electro-magnetic interference (EMI) containment device is described. The EMI containment device includes a number of spring devices to maintain contact between an electronic module and an enclosure. The spring device includes a spring portion to contact an electronic module disposed in the enclosure. A guide device of the spring device controls movement of the spring portion and an alignment mechanism maintains alignment of the spring portion.

A hard drive carrier and a method for removing a hard drive carrier from an enclosure are provided herein. In one example, the hard drive carrier includes a platform located in a center position on a front face of the hard drive carrier. The hard drive carrier includes a first pinch point and a second pinch point, where the second pinch point is located opposite of the first pinch point. The hard drive carrier also includes a first tab disposed adjacent to the first pinch point and a second tab, where the second tab is located opposite of the first tab.

A base member for a tablet computing device including a fastener to removably couple a tablet computing device to the base. A receptacle can receive a security lock to secure the base, wherein the security lock is to prevent the fastener from releasing the tablet computing device in a first mode and allows the releasing of the tablet computing device in a second mode.

Computing device security lock

A disk drive module is provided herein. The disk drive module includes a frame, a keyed member, a front aperture, and a back aperture. The frame includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of side walls therebetween. The keyed member is formed along at least one of the pair of side walls. The front aperture to receive a drive carrier. The back aperture to interchangeably receive at least one back end selected from a hot plug back end and a non-hot plug back end.

Disc drive module

A system is provided herein. The system includes a support member and a latch mechanism. The support member includes a positioning member. The latch mechanism is connected to the support member. The latch mechanism includes a handle and a retention latch. The handle is formed to rotate about an axis. Rotation of the handle to shift engagement of the handle with the positioning member between an engaged position and an unengaged position. The retention latch to engage with a chassis and secure the support member therein. The retention latch connects to the handle. In the engaged position, the handle to connect to the positioning member and the retention latch to engage with the chassis. In the unengaged position, the handle and the positioning member to disconnect and the handle to displace the retention latch to release engagement of the retention latch with the chassis.
