Methods, systems, and devices for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the computer implemented services, the quantity of hardware resources available for providing the computer implemented services may be modified. The quantity of hardware resources may be modified by adding removable cards to a host system. When the removable card is added, a removable attachment element may be used to secure the removable card in place and maintain operable connection between the host system and the removable card.

System and method for supporting hardware components

A drawer for receiving components may include a caddy tray and at least one caddy. The caddy tray may include a substantially planar caddy tray bottom defining a caddy tray depth and a caddy tray width. The at least one caddy may be mechanically coupled to the caddy tray via a hinge mechanically coupled to the caddy tray bottom such that the caddy pivots relative to the caddy tray about the hinge, the hinge having an axis generally parallel to the caddy tray depth, the at least one caddy having a plurality of bays, each bay having one or more structural components for receiving a modular information handling resource and configured such that the bay is accessed for insertion or removal of the modular information handling resource when the at least one caddy is pivoted from a closed position to an open position.

Chassis drawer for modular information handling resources

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include sliding a slider slidably coupled to the structural member and mechanically coupled to the structural member by an ejection spring with an ejection spring force configured to bias the slider in a first position relative to the structural member in absence of a force other than the rejection spring force, wherein the sliding is in a direction opposite the ejection spring force and away from the first position, and wherein the structural member defines at least a portion of a bay for receiving an information handling resource. The method may also include engaging the slider with a release latch mechanically coupled to the structural member, such that when engaged with the release latch, the slider is biased in a second position away from the first position.
