An electrical cabinet stores, or houses, a variety electrical components. The electrical components within the cabinet may be interconnected and may be connected to other electrical components external to the cabinet. The cabinet has an access door with a door stop that allows the door to be locked in an open position. The cabinet contains a workstation with a pivoting platform that supports an electrical component. The cabinet has an extendable bracket that extends allows an electrical component to be extended from the cabinet and removed by lifting the component in an upward direction. The cabinet has a board guide module that aligns a circuit board with an electrical connector in the cabinet. The cabinet has a bulkhead connector that reduces electromagnetic degradation in electrical cables that extend from the cabinet.

First and second pairs of pins and cooperative first and second pairs of pin receiving apertures are provided at the confronting connector faces of each of one or more data storage device carrier subassemblies and an interconnection board of a storage system card cage subassembly into which each data storage device carrier subassembly is slidably mounted. The first pin/aperture pair engage and cooperate first to prealign, mechanically support and vibrationally damp each data storage device carrier subassembly. The second/pin aperture pair engage and cooperate to secondly finely align a connector on each data storage device carrier subassembly with a mating connector on the storage system card cage subassembly, enabling hot-pluggable insertion and removal of each data storage device carrier subassembly into and out of the storage system card cage subassembly without physically damaging the confronting connectors of each data storage device carrier subassembly and storage system card cage subassembly interconnection board or causing electrical shorts in the connectors.

An adjustable cable supporting hinge assembly pivotably couples a support member, such as a tray for holding an electronic component, to a support structure, such as a housing or cabinet for an electronic system. The adjustable cable supporting hinge assembly includes a hollow cylindrical hub member which receives the cables coupling the electronic component to the electronic system. The cables are inserted into a cable-receiving region in the hollow cylindrical hub member during assembly and are protected against damage when the pivotable support member is moved. The adjustable wire supporting hinge assembly further includes an adjustable clamp member which rotatably supports and clamps the hollow cylindrical hub member. The adjustable clamp member is adjustable to provide a variable resistance against rotation for the pivotable support member to accommodate electronic components of different sizes and different weights.

A hot-pluggable cabinet cooling fan assembly is mounted to an exterior face of a cabinet in such a way as to enable removal or service of the fan assembly without either disrupting the operation of the cabinet being cooled or opening of cabinet doors. First and second plugs are provided on confronting faces of the fan assembly and the exterior face of the cabinet. Mechanical elements are carried by the confronting faces that prealign the plugs, while other mechanical elements are carried by the plugs that finely align the electrical connection elements of the plugs. A handle is provided that allows single-handed fan assembly mounting and dismounting.

Three-bay electronics cabinet

A power interconnect system for electronic assemblies, for providing electrical connections between a power supply and a remote electrical conductor element, such as a power bus bar. An electrically insulating block is connected to a bus bar, and holds captive a power coupling connector element for engaging and connecting the bus bar to a power supply. The power coupling connector element includes a conductive end and an insulative end to prevent the supply from shorting out or shocking a maintenance person in contact with the insulative end even when the system is powered up. The conductive end has a larger diameter than the insulative end and the entire power coupling connector element is held captive within the block of insulating material when mounted to a power bus bar, to prevent the power coupling connector element from becoming loose within an electronic assembly.

An interconnect device for a power supply blade having two flat sides comprising a first portion having a fiat surface for contact with one flat side of the blade, and a second portion having a flat surface facing the first flat surface for contact with the other flat side of the blade. One flat surface is translatable toward and away from the other flat surface to engage and disengage the blade, respectively.
