A printed circuit card carrier permits exchange of a card during continuous operation of electronic equipment, and thus without the need to remove an upper part of the enclosure to gain access to the card for upward removal from a motherboard connector. The carrier includes a movable printed circuit card holder that slides along the carrier, perpendicularly towards and away from the motherboard. An actuator accessible from outside the equipment and the holder are coupled together such that motion of the actuator is directed into perpendicular sliding motion of the holder. This either removes the printed circuit card from the motherboard connector or installs it into connector, depending on the direction of motion of the actuator. The carrier is particularly adapted for cards meeting the PCI standard.

A device for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) leakage through an opening in a housing. The device accepts a printed circuit board or dummy board. Various openings may be provided in the device. The device includes a faceplate, a gasket having a plurality of fingers, and a supporter. The supporter protects the leading edge of the fingers and augments the forces exerted by the fingers in opposition to the opening in the housing.

An assembly designed to increase the ease with which a printed circuit board carrier may be inserted or extracted from an enclosure. The assembly includes a movable lever mounted to the carrier and curved pin slot in the enclosure. A pin on the lever engages the curved pin slot. During insertion, the shape of the pin slot guides the carrier into its position, then the lever rotates to place the pin in a portion of the pin slot that is oriented in a substantially different direction from the direction of insertion, thus holding the carrier in place. During removal, the pin holds the carrier in place while the lever rotates away from the carrier and thus becomes accessible to permit removal of the carrier by pulling on the lever. Two assemblies, one on each side of the carrier, are typically used.

A drive sled assembly apparatus and method for readily installing and removing media drives. In one embodiment of the present invention, a drive sled is adapted to attach to a media drive. The sled consists of left and right rails that attach to the drive, and a lever that snaps on the front of the two rails. The attachment between the rails and the drive contain rubber grommets to dampen vibration and shock effects on the drive. The two rails and lever can be used to carry the drive using the lever as a handle. The rails are adapted to enable the drive and sled to slide into left and right guides attached to the computer chassis. In so doing, the drive can be installed or removed from the computer without opening the computer cover or having to unscrew the media drive from the computer chassis. In addition, one embodiment adapts the right rail to accommodate a light pipe. The light pipe is used to transfer LED signals from the back of the media drive to the front of the computer chassis without using loose wires. Also, an embodiment of the sled assembly has an adapter PCB assembly attached to the back, thus making the drive sled compatible with non-SCA drives.
