An insertion and removal assembly for installing and removing hard drives from an enclosure, such as a computer chassis, is provided. The insertion and removal assembly includes a sliding member configured to receive a hard drive, a lever handle rotatably connected to the sliding member and an attachment wall having a plurality of protrusions defining a plurality of slots, each slot configured to receive one sliding member. A user reveals a slot for accepting the installation of the hard drive in the enclosure by pushing a tab on the attachment wall near a distal portion of the lever handle to release the lever handle and then pulling the lever handle outward exposing the sliding member. A hard drive is inserted into the sliding member and pushed inwardly into the chassis. Conversely, the sliding member can contain a hard drive which is partially ejected by unlatching and subsequently pulling the lever.

A flat panel display structure is disclosed that can support significant loads on the viewing surface without fracturing or permanently damaging the video display. A rigid body is fitted in a peripheral frame and situated behind the viewing surface. When a load is applied to the video display, the load is transferred to the rigid body, which absorbs and distributes the load to the peripheral frame.

Robust display device having particular rigid body

A device () for receiving electrical components and wiring and adapted for mounting between adjacent studs of a wall structure, the device () includes means forming a composite chamber and having a box () with parallel, spaced apart right and left side panels () for attachment to studs and spaced apart top and bottom panels () having ends joined to ends of the right and left panels () and arranged so as to form a housing chamber () at least partially forming the composite chamber. At least one framework () is movable between a first position within the composite chamber and a second position outside the composite chamber, the one framework () being shaped and arranged to receive electrical components.

A device retention mechanism suitable for mounting a device in a chassis of an information handling system may include a chassis and a retention member. The chassis is suitable for receiving a device and has a first side and a second side, the first side being generally perpendicular to the second side. The retention member is configured as a cam assembly and is mounted to the first side of the chassis, thereby enabling the retention member to exert a force against a device to secure the device to the chassis.

Apparatus for securing a device within a chassis

An alignment device eases installation of computer assemblies, such as drives, into a corresponding chassis. The alignment device includes one or more planar areas located and oriented so as to be substantially alignable with one or more computer assemblies to be mounted to the chassis. The computer assembly has a user-visible surface which is moved until it is co-planar with a corresponding planar area of the alignment device. When positioned in this co-planar configuration, the computer assembly is correctly positioned relative to the chassis to be mounted thereto. The alignment device can be located on the computer chassis between mounting locations for two computer assemblies, such as a 5&#xbc;-inch drive and a 3&#xbd;-inch drive and, in such application, can be provided with two planar areas at two different heights, one corresponding to the alignment position for one of the computer assemblies, the other corresponding to the alignment position for the other of the computer assemblies.

Alignment device for a computer chassis

An apparatus and method for allowing securing/unsecuring of an access panel from a generally opposing side of a chassis. The apparatus includes a latch for securing the panel disposed on a side of the chassis. A locking mechanism extends from the latch to a side opposite the latch. The locking mechanism provides a locking bar which may be manipulated to either positively secure the panel, via a screw or lock, or release the panel from the side opposite the latch.
