Examples herein disclose an apparatus for securing or disengaging a blade server in an enclosure. The apparatus includes a worm gear and a cam gear. The worm gear includes a number of threads to interact with a number of teeth on the cam gear. The cam gear includes the number of teeth to interact with the number of threads and a latch. The latch rotates based on the number of threads interacting with the number of teeth such that the rotation secures or disengages the blade server from the enclosure.

In one example, a processor may include a processor core with a central processing unit as well as a processor cache separate from the processor core. The processor may also include flushing circuitry. The flushing circuitry may identify a power loss event for the processor. In response, the flushing circuitry may selectively power the processor by providing power to the processor cache but not to the processor core. The flushing circuitry may further flush data content of the processor cache to a non-volatile memory separate from the processor.

An example system in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a sled to retain a storage device, and a base mountable to a computing system to slidably receive the sled. The storage device is to blind mate with a multipurpose interface of the computing system, based on the sled being slidable on the base between a retracted position and an inserted position.

A printed circuit board (PCB) having a thermal relief pad around at least one via. The thermal relief pad includes at least four thermal cut-outs and at least four conductive bands. The at least four conductive bands are formed between the at least four thermal cut-outs such that adjacent conductive pads are orthogonal to each other. Each pair of mutually opposite conductive bands have substantially equal lengths and each pair of adjacent conductive bands have unequal lengths.
