A storage drive adapter may comprise an adapter board, which may include a first and second carrier module interface to removably engage with a first and a second storage drive carrier module, respectively. The adapter board may further include a dual ported storage drive connector to engage with a complementary storage drive bay interface. The dual ported storage drive connector may include a first port to provide a first signal path from the complementary storage drive bay interface to the first carrier module interface. Similarly, the dual ported storage drive connector may also include a second port to provide a second signal path from the complementary storage drive bay interface to the second carrier module interface.

Storage drive adapter

An apparatus comprising: a drive carrier assembly (DCA) including; an energy storage device having at least a portion thereof encased by a housing; and a printed circuit assembly to detect a power failure of a host computing device, wherein the printed circuit assembly has a first portion coupled to the energy storage device and a second portion coupled to a backplane of the host computing device.

Device carrier assemblies

An example apparatus comprises a drive carrier assembly which may include a memory device, and an energy storage device having at least a portion thereof encased in a housing. In some examples, the apparatus may include a printed circuit assembly to detect a power failure of a host computing device. The printed circuit assembly, may have a first portion coupled to the energy storage device and a second portion coupled to a backplane of the host computing device.

Drive carrier assemblies

An example computing device enclosure can include a first printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a first plurality of components, where a first portion of the first plurality of components that are shorter than a threshold height are positioned on a first side of the first PCB and a second portion of the first plurality of components that are taller than the threshold height are positioned on a second side of the first PCB, and a second printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a second plurality of components, where a first portion of the second plurality of components that are shorter than the threshold height are positioned on a first side of the second PCB and a second portion of the second plurality of components that are taller than the threshold height are positioned on a second side of the second PCB.

Printed circuit board orientations

In one implementation, a system for a tool-less multipoint latching mechanism includes a number of adjustable cams of a bracket to interact with a number of corresponding cam surfaces located on a computing board, a number of locking locations to couple a printed circuit assembly (PCA) to the bracket, and a number of pin-in-slot joints of the bracket that interact with the number of adjustable cams to vertically lower the coupled PCA into a number of receiving connectors on the computing board.

Tool-less multipoint latching mechanism

A server chassis installable in a server rack may include a lower compartment, an upper compartment, and an interconnector. The lower compartment may have a front end defining a front opening configured to allow for the passage of a server therethrough. The upper compartment may define a top opening substantially orthogonal to the front opening and may be configured to allow for the passage of a plurality of storage cartridges therethrough. The interconnector may have a first set of connectors communicatively coupled with a second set of connectors. The first set of connectors may be configured to mate with the server, and the second set of connectors may be configured to mate with the storage cartridges, such that the interconnector allows for the removal of the server without the removal of the storage cartridges.

Server chassis for servers

Example implementations relate to a cable track. For example, a cable track includes a plurality of pivotally-connected multi-channel links. Each of the multi-channel links may be a unitary body. A first channel may be located between a first outer member and a dividing member of the multi-channel link. A second channel may be located between a second outer member and the dividing member of the multi-channel link.

Cable track

In one example a latching system is disclosed. The latching system has a handle that moves along an axis of motion between three positions: a latched position, an unlatched position and an engaged position. The handle moves a retention clip from a locked position into an unlocked position when the handle moves from the unlatched position into the engaged position.

Latching system

A fan module is provided herein. The fan module includes a fan, a fan diverter, and a guide pin. The fan diverter is formed in the fan module. The fan diverter includes a diverter wall and a torsion spring along the diverter wall to position the diverter wall. The guide pin is connected to the diverter wall. The guide pin is formed to engage with a guide path formed along a chassis bay to position the diverter wall.

Fan module

An example module is provided herein. The module includes a tray and a cable support member. The tray includes a cage, a handle mechanism, a tray handle, and a tray midplane. The cage receives an electronic component and the handle mechanism rotates the cage using a cage lever and a cam member between a closed position, a top open position, and a bottom open position. The tray handle releases the tray from an engaged position. The tray midplane provides a connector for the electronic component. The cable support member provides a movable connection between the tray midplane and an enclosure backplane.

Support member

A mounting device is disclosed. The mounting device has a handle rotatable between an open position and a closed position. The handle has latching features at each end that couple to mating latching features. As the handle is rotated from its open position towards its closed position, the latching features force the handle towards the mating latching features.

Mounting device

A system is provided herein. The system includes a cage and a handle mechanism. The handle mechanism includes a handle member and a cam member. The handle member is formed to rotate between a closed position, a top open position, and a bottom open position. In the closed position, a handle latch holds the handle in the closed position. In the top open position, the handle rotates a first amount to the top open position and engages with a top cam surface. Rotation of the handle member to rotate a cage a second amount. In the bottom open position, the handle member rotates the first amount to the bottom open position and engages with a bottom cam surface. Rotation of the handle member to rotate the cage the second amount. The cam member to control a rate of rotation of the handle member and the cage.
