A mounting assembly for mounting a piece of equipment, such as a power distribution unit to a rack. The mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket attached to the rack, a mounting plate attached to the equipment and a hinge assembly connecting the mounting plate to the first end of the mounting bracket while an attachment mechanism connects the mounting plate to the mounting bracket. A method of accessing the interior of the rack is also disclosed.

Mounting assembly for rack equipment

In a network sensor assembly, network environmental monitor, and associated fabrication methods, a network sensor assembly comprises a panel configured for mounting on a surface, a plurality of addressable sensors coupled to the panel that sense environmental conditions at the surface, a memory device that stores configuration information associated with the plurality of addressable sensors, and a bus. The bus is communicatively coupled to the plurality of addressable sensors and the memory device and is configured for communicatively coupling the network sensor assembly to a network node for communicating data associated with the sensed environmental conditions in a network.

Modular networked sensor assembly

A modular high-density computer system has an infrastructure that includes a framework component forming a plurality of bays and has one or more cooling components. The computer system also has one or more computational components that include a rack assembly and a plurality of servers installed in the rack assembly. Each of the one or more computational components is assembled and shipped to an installation site separately from the infrastructure and then installed within one of the plurality of bays after the infrastructure is installed at the site.

Modular high-density computer system

The invention provides a modular network sensor assembly operable to sense environmental conditions at a computer or equipment rack. The network sensor assembly includes a flexible body operable to be folded along a central fold line. The central fold line separates the flexible body into a first panel and second panel. A number of mounting tabs are hingedly attached to either the first panel or second panel. These mounting tabs are operable to secure the network assembly to the computer rack. A number of sensor tabs are located along the central fold line. Addressable sensors capable of sensing environmental conditions are positioned proximate to the sensor tabs, and communicatively coupled to a common bus. A memory device is also communicatively coupled to the common bus and is operable to store configuration information and data associated with the sensed environmental conditions sampled by the addressable sensors.

A rack mount computing system having a keyboard and display assembly mountable in a 1 U rack space. The keyboard and display assembly are provided in a clamshell configuration to reduce space consumption of the keyboard and display assembly to facilitate mounting in the 1 U rack space.

System and method for mounting a keyboard and display assembly in a 1U rack space

A combination of a track ball mechanism and a scroll mechanism. The combination may be placed proximate a standard portion of a keyboard so that a user can access either the track ball mechanism or the scroll mechanism without removing either hand from the standard portion of the keyboard. The track ball mechanism and the scroll mechanism may be integrated with one another to some extent.

Keyboard having a track ball mechanism and a scroll mechanism

An apparatus for mounting a display includes a tray having an end and a back plate pivotably mounted to the tray proximate the end. An apparatus in accordance with another aspect of the invention includes a cabinet, a pivotable display assembly, and a keyboard assembly. The cabinet has mounting rails. The pivotable display assembly includes a display tray having an end and being mounted to the mounting rails and a back plate pivotably mounted to the tray proximate the end. The keyboard assembly includes a keyboard tray and a keyboard slide having fixed and moveable portions. The fixed portion is mounted to the mounting rails, and the moveable portion is mounted to the keyboard tray. The switchbox is mounted to the fixed portion of the keyboard slide.
