  • Publication number: 20240055026
    Abstract: A storage drive assembly is provided. The storage drive assembly includes a storage drive sized and shaped for insertion into a slot within a chassis, a latching mechanism coupled to a first end of the storage drive, the latching mechanism including an actuation component actuable to transition the latching mechanism from a locked state in which the latching mechanism restricts displacement of the storage drive relative to the chassis to an unlocked state in which the latching mechanism enables displacement of the storage drive assembly relative to the chassis, and a drive secure cover plate adapted to removably mate with the latching mechanism in the locked state, the mated drive secure cover plate preventing physical access to the actuation component.

  • Publication number: 20230350540
    Abstract: Virtual buttons for dynamically displaying giveaway information are disclosed. The virtual buttons may include an interactive body, and dynamic information displayed within the body. The dynamic information may be associated with a giveaway. The dynamic information may include a first set of information relating to the giveaway and displayed prior to a user's interaction with the interactive body, a second set of information relating to the giveaway and displayed after the user's interaction with the interactive body, and a third set of information relating to the giveaway and displayed after the giveaway has ended.

  • Publication number: 20230124698
    Abstract: A busbar connector includes an insulator body, a positive power delivery contact, a negative power delivery contact, and a side band contact. The insulator body has first prong and a second prong oriented in a longitudinal direction and proximate one another with a gap therebetween. The positive power delivery contact is on a first inner surface of the first prong adjacent the gap, and the negative power delivery contact is on a second inner surface of the second prong adjacent the gap. The side band contact is positioned on the insulator body and insulated from the positive power delivery contact and the negative power delivery contact by the insulator body.

  • Patent number: 11126255
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for enabling a power shelf unit to communicate a power throttle signal to devices of a power rack (or other grouping of devices) via a busbar. In particular, systems disclosed herein involve detecting a trigger condition associated with throttling power on server devices of a server rack. In response to detecting the trigger condition, systems here cause a direct current (DC) power supply voltage to change from an operating voltage to a notification voltage for a period of time to alert or otherwise communicate to server devices coupled to the busbar of the trigger condition. Causing the DC power supply voltage to change to the notification voltage may cause processors on server devices to throttle power consumption in accordance with one or more power capping policies implanted thereon.
