A rack unit for providing a server to be mounted within a storage rack is provided. The rack unit includes a set of low-profile drawer slides configured for mounting the rack unit within the storage rack, the set of low-profile drawer slides configured for mounting upon rails; wherein, the chassis includes at least one wide section for housing computer components. A server and a storage rack are described.

3U 'T' shaped chassis design with rail features

Example embodiments of the present invention provide a method of manufacture and an apparatus for optimized server design using dense DIMM spacing, wide heatsink, improved routing channels, and improved air delivery to rear devices. The method of manufacture comprise providing a plurality of compliant pin memory sockets on a first side of a circuit board at a pitch less than that specified in a reference layout requiring solder tail memory sockets and providing a plurality of surface mount capacitors on the second side of the circuit board enabling at least one pair of the plurality of compliant pin memory sockets to be provided at the pitch less than that specified in the reference layout.

Optimized server design using dense DIMM spacing, wide heatsink, improved routing channels, and improved air delivery to rear devices

An electronic equipment chassis in one embodiment comprises a housing having a front portion and a rear portion, first and second rows of cooling modules disposed at respective upper and lower levels of the front portion, and a plurality of storage devices arranged in the front portion between the first and second rows of cooling modules. At least a subset of the cooling modules and the storage devices are configured so as to be removable from the chassis through a vertical plane of the front portion of the housing.

Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a system comprising a zip-locker and a zip-locker receiver. The zip-locker comprises a first portion and a second portion configured to fasten to an interconnect, at least one of the first portion and the second portion having ratchet teeth formed and extending longitudinally on an outer surface thereof. The zip-locker receiver is configured to ratchetably receive the zip-locker and comprises an aperture and a pawl disposed within the aperture configured to complement and cooperate with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker to prevent removal of the zip-locker from the aperture of the zip-locker receiver at times the pawl of the zip-locker receiver is engaged with the ratchet teeth of the zip-locker.

Zip-locker system and apparatus

A computing system includes a low-profile chassis a motherboard disposed therein and at least one full-size circuit board coupled to the motherboard within the chassis. A method and another computing system are disclosed.

Universal mezzanine connector

An IT device includes a system board and a riser card socket electrically coupled to the system board and configured to receive a riser card. At least one expansion card slot is electrically coupled to the system board and configured to receive at least one expansion card. A controller assembly is electrically coupled to the system board and configured to energize the at least one expansion card slot while the riser card socket is empty.

Configurable system board

An IT device includes a system board including at least one microprocessor. At least one 2.5&#x2033; disk drive is electrically coupled to the system board. At least one 3.5&#x2033; disk drive is electrically coupled to the system board. An enclosure is configured to house the system board and includes at least one native 2.5&#x2033; drive bay configured to house the at least one 2.5&#x2033; disk drive, and at least one native 3.5&#x2033; drive bay configured to house the at least one 3.5&#x2033; disk drive.

An IT chassis, configured to house IT componentry, includes a forward portion having a forward portion width and a rearward portion having a rearward portion width that is narrower than the forward portion width. A first side of the rearward portion is configured to engage a first slide assembly having a first slide width. A second side of the rearward portion is configured to engage a second slide assembly having a second slide width. The sum of the rearward portion width, the first slide width and the second slide width is substantially equal to the forward portion width.

Rack-mountable IT device

Apparatus includes a chassis assembly, a computing device configured to connect to a housing of the chassis assembly, and a line cord supplying power to the chassis assembly. The line cord has a first portion external to the chassis assembly and a second portion internal to the chassis assembly. The second portion has a shielding member that is in conductive contact with the housing to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for the chassis assembly.

Line cord filter

A connection assembly has a midplane, first midplane connectors and second midplane connectors. The midplane is divided into an airflow section and a connector section by a dividing line. The midplane defines a first side and a second side which faces away from the first side. The airflow section provides airflow passageways connecting spaces on both sides of the midplane. The connector section provides (i) first mounting locations which are confined to the connector section on the first side and (ii) second mounting locations which are confined to the connector section on the second side. The first midplane connectors are arranged to connect to first circuit board modules, and are mounted over the first mounting locations on the first side. The set of second midplane connectors are arranged to connect to second circuit board modules, and are mounted over the second mounting locations on the second side.
