Water pump

An apparatus for providing multi-directional signaling interface connection of a printed circuit card within a computer chassis. In one embodiment, a blind swap cartridge carries a circuit card that includes a first signaling interface connector in the form of a PCI edge connector. The edge connector is movable via a pivot point on the cartridge in a substantially transverse direction with respect to an insertion direction of said blind swap cartridge. In accordance with the present invention, a second signaling interface connector, such as a SCSI connector, is rigidly affixed to the exterior of the blind swap cartridge. The second signaling interface connector is preferably disposed on the cartridge in an orientation such that its connection direction is substantially aligned with the blind swap cartridge insertion direction. A flexible interconnect member is preferably utilized to couple the second signaling interface connector to the circuit card.

Card mounting apparatus

An electrical machine, such as a computer, network interconnecting device, etc., has an enclosure fabricated from a one piece material fold and cut into a desired form including sidewalls with an opening in one of the sidewalls and projections to which other components are connected. The components include a support member and brackets interconnecting the support member to the projections. The support and brackets are arranged to form cavities in which circuit cards can be inserted.
