A drive cage assembly of a computer enclosure for receiving a data storage device therein includes a cage, a securing plate and a coupling piece. The cage has a base wall, an upper wall horizontally extending from an upper edge of the base wall and a lower wall horizontally extending from a lower edge of the base wall. The cage defines a side opening. The base wall forms at least one pair of posts projecting from the inner side thereof for inserting into corresponding holes defined in the data storage device. The securing plate is attached to the side opening of the cage and also forms at least one pair of posts in its inner side for inserting into holes defined in the data storage device. The coupling piece couples the securing plate to the cage thereby securely mounting the data storage device to the cage.

Drive cage assembly

A shielding device ( ) is removably received in a drive bracket ( ) of a computer enclosure ( ). The shielding device includes a shell ( ) and a pair of rails ( ). The shell electrically contacts and covers a bay in a front panel ( ) of the computer enclosure thereby providing shielding from electromagnetic interference. The rails are removably attached to the shell to be received in the drive bracket for supporting the shell therein.

Shielding device for computer enclosure

A computer enclosure to receive a circuit board therein comprises a cage, a hook attached to the cage and a pair of ledges attached to the cage. The hook comprises a first body for supporting the circuit board and a latch extending from the first body for engaging with the circuit board. Each ledge comprises a second body for supporting the circuit board and a flange extending from the second body for engaging with the circuit board.

Computer enclosure incorporating means for positioning a circuit board

A computer enclosure includes a chassis ( ) and a hood ( ) attached to the chassis. The chassis includes a rear panel ( ) defining a slot ( ) and a pair of side flanges ( ). Each side flange defines a number of cutouts ( ) and a number of slits ( ) exposed to the cutouts, respectively. The hood has a pair of side walls ( ) and a J-shaped catch ( ) extending from a rear flange ( ) between the side walls. The catch of the hood is received in the slot of the chassis, allowing the hood to be rotatable with respect to the chassis between an open position and a closed position while being selectively removable from the chassis when at the open position. The J-shaped catch engages with the slot for supporting the hood at the open position. Each side wall has a number of latches ( ) for being received in the cutouts and moved into the slits of the chassis thereby securely fixing the hood to the chassis when the hood is at the closed position.

Computer enclosure incorporating a catch

A computer bezel is adapted for mounting on a computer enclosure having a data storage device attached thereto. The computer bezel comprises a base and a drive cover attached to the base. The base has a pair of arms and the drive cover is pivotable about the arms of the base. The drive cover is adapted to be pivoted about the computer enclosure for exposing the computer enclosure to an outer space thereby facilitating assembling of the data storage device to the computer enclosure.

Computer bezel having a pivotable drive cover

A computer enclosure comprises a chassis and a hood attached to the chassis. The chassis has a latch resiliently and pivotably attached thereto. The latch forms a protrusion and an ejector. The hood has a fixing tab defining a fixing hole for engagingly receiving the protrusion of the latch therein thereby fixing the hood to the chassis. The fixing tab forms a bent end for ejection by the ejector of the latch thereby detaching the hood from the chassis.

Computer enclosure incorporating a latch

A computer casing includes a side panel releasably attached thereto for covering an opening defined in a side wall thereof. The side panel has a first edge from which a perpendicular flange extends. Anchoring tabs perpendicularly extend from the flange. A step is formed on a corresponding edge of the opening with slots defined therein to receive the anchoring tabs with the flange abutting against the step thereby effectively eliminating electromagnetic radiation emitted through the opening. A plurality of locking tabs are formed on an opposite second edge of the side panel. Cutouts are defined in a rear wall of the casing corresponding to the locking tabs. A locking rod movably attached to a rear wall defines a plurality of openings corresponding to the cutouts whereby the locking tabs are allowed to extend through both the cutouts of the casing and the openings of the locking rod when the locking rod is at an unlocked position. When the locking rod is moved to a locked position, edges of the openings of the locking rod engage with notches defined in the locking tabs of the side panel thereby securing the side panel in position. A biasing spring is arranged between the locking rod and the casing for biasing the locking rod to the locked position. A handle is formed on the locking rod for manually moving the locking rod.
