In some embodiments, an apparatus comprises an integrated circuit module comprising two layers of thermal interface material, a printed circuit assembly disposed between the two layers of thermal interface material and comprising a plurality of integrated circuits disposed on both sides of a circuit board, wherein at least one of the integrated circuits is thermally coupled with one of the layers of thermal interface material, and two heat spreaders adapted to removably retain one another, and when retaining one another to enclose and become thermally coupled with the two layers of thermal interface material; and a printed circuit board having a connector disposed thereon, wherein a connector edge of the printed circuit assembly is disposed within the connector. In other embodiments, a frame is adapted to retain the two heat spreaders.

According to some examples, solutions are provided for setting a cooling system of a computer system chassis by a positionable cover disposed on a computer hardware component receivable by the computer system chassis.

Positionable cover to set cooling system

Example techniques for securing an expansion card in a computing device are disclosed. An example method includes securing a mounting bracket within the computing device. An adjustable retention clip is installed in a preferred location at the mounting bracket. An expansion card is then installed in a space created by the adjustable retention clip and the mounting bracket, and the expansion card is secured to the adjustable retention clip.

Securing an expansion card in a computing device

A top loading cartridge is provided herein. The top loading cartridge includes a support member and a lock mechanism. The support member to receive an electronic component. The lock mechanism includes a handle and an engagement member. The handle to connect to the support member and move between a first position and a second position. The engagement member to extend from the support member to engage with a chassis.

Top loading cartridge

A blank cartridge includes an impedance portion to control a flow of cooling media through the blank cartridge to a plurality of computing components, and an actuator to change an impedance level of the impedance portion. The actuator receives a control signal to change the impedance level of the impedance portion based on a location of the plurality of computing components relative to the blank cartridge.

Controlling impedance of blank cartridges

A top loading cartridge is provided herein. The top loading cartridge includes a support member, a rail member, and a lock mechanism. The support member to receive an electronic module. The rail member attached to the support member to engage with a tray that receives the top loading server cartridge. The lock mechanism to lock the top loading cartridge.

Example implementations relate to a retention assembly. One example retention assembly includes a support member extending from a printed circuit board. The support member includes a body region having a slot and a first flange extending from the body region. The retention assembly also includes a locking member slidably coupled to the support member via the slot. The locking member includes a second flange. The second flange includes a protruded region, and wherein the protruded region and the first flange are to secure a proximal end of expansion module.

Retention assembly

A rail for mounting a rack-mountable component can include a longitudinal member having a first flange, a spring located proximal to the first end and having an uncompressed state and a compressed state, and a latch having a trigger arm and a cam arm, wherein moving the trigger arm toward the first flange engages the cam arm with the spring to transition the spring from the uncompressed state to the compressed state.

Rail for mounting a rack-mountable component

Techniques for identifying interdependent cartridges are described herein. In one example, a method can detect a signal from an indication switch on a first cartridge, wherein the signal results from a user manually actuating the indication switch. The method can also detect a second interdependent cartridge based on interdependence information. Furthermore, the method can activate an interdependence indicator on the first cartridge and an interdependence indicator on the second cartridge.

Cartridge interdependence switch

In at least some embodiments, an apparatus is provided that comprises a frame and a cover removably attached to the frame. The apparatus further comprises a geared latch assembly attached to the cover, the geared latch assembly having a geared latch. If the geared latch is rotated from a first position to a second position, the cover moves linearly from a closed state to an open state.
