A fastening system, including a fastener including a threaded portion positioned on an outer surface of the fastener; a protrusion positioned on an outer surface of the fastener, the protrusion including a first angled surface; and an engagement surface; a nut corresponding to the fastener, including a threaded portion positioned on an inner surface of the nut; a first locking feature positioned on an inner surface of the nut, the first locking feature including a second angled surface; a first locking surface; a second locking feature positioned on the inner surface of the nut, the second locking feature including a third angled surface; a second locking surface.

Fastening system for coupling a computing module to a printed circuit board

A fastening system, including: a fastener including: a hollow shaft; a threaded portion positioned on an outer surface of the hollow shaft; a first protrusion extending from an inner surface of the hollow shaft, the first protrusion including: a first angled surface; a first engagement surface; a nut corresponding to the fastener, including: a cavity having threaded portion; a projection positioned within the cavity of the nut, the projection including: a first locking feature positioned on an outer surface of the projection, the first locking feature including: a second angled surface; a first locking surface; wherein, in a first state of engagement of the fastener with the nut, the first angled surface of the first protrusion of the fastener engages with the second angled surface of the first locking feature of the projection to rotate the fastener with respect to the nut in response to downward force on the fastener.

Managing PCIe slots, including identifying a table, stored at a database, indicating, for each PCIe card, a number of PCIe slots to be designated as inaccessible to other PCIe cards; detecting coupling of a particular PCIe card to a particular PCIe slot; accessing, in response to detecting the coupling of the particular PCIe card to the particular PCIe slot, the table; determining, based on the accessing, that the table includes data indicating the particular PCIe card; identifying, based on determining that the table includes data indicating the particular PCIe card, the number of PCIe slots adjacent to the particular slot to be designated as inaccessible to other PCIe cards; adjusting, based on the number of PCIe slots adjacent to the particular slot to be designated as inaccessible to other PCIe cards, a power state of one or more PCIe slots adjacent to the particular PCIe slot to an off-power state.

Managing peripheral component interconnect express slots of an information handling system

A variable holder module secures a variety of different expansion cards that may be installed within a computer or other information handling system. The holder module has a multi-sided component that is orientable according to which expansion card is to be secured within the computer. Each side of the component may thus correspond to a different one of the expansion cards. Once the expansion card is determined, a human or robotic picker need only orient component to the side that corresponds to the make/model of the expansion card. The holder module is thus adaptable to secure many different expansion cards that may be installed within the computer.

Variable holder module for securing expansion cards

A configurable component receptacle which includes a holder portion and a flexible portion, the flexible portion enabling the holder portion of the configurable component receptacle to be in a horizontal configuration and a pivoted configuration, the holder portion and the flexible portion being configured from a single piece of material. The configurable component receptacle is attached to a frame of an information handling system, the configurable component receptable enabling configuration of the information handling system with a plurality of component options.

Configurable component receptacle for use with information handling systems

A cradle for an information handling system includes a base and a stand. The stand extends perpendicular to the base. The stand includes a rotatable insert portion and a cover. The rotatable insert portion receives the information handling system. The cover snap fits over the information handling system when the information handling system is within the cradle, and when the cover rotates between an open position and a closed position.
