Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for removably coupling a tray bracket to a cable holder of an information handling system includes: receiving, by an open slot of a lock ring receiver of the cable holder, a closed end of a lock ring of the tray bracket, the lock ring receiver disposed on a surface of the cable holder, the closed end of the lock ring removably coupled to the lock ring receiver; applying, by two or more guiding structures of a lock ring neck receptacle of the cable holder, a compression force on a neck of the lock ring; and causing, by the compression force, the neck of the lock ring to be received by a recessed area of the lock ring neck receptable to removably couple the tray bracket to the cable holder.

Abstract: A data storage device carrier system includes a carrier configured to support one or more data storage devices, a backplane, including one or more coupling connector devices configured to electrically couple with a motherboard, and an interposer board operable to couple a plurality of the data storage devices supported by the carrier with the backplane. In an embodiment, the one or more coupling connector devices are operable to transfer communication signals and electrical power. The interposer board is operable to provide the electrical power from a single port on the backplane to each of the plurality of the data storage devices. The interposer board is also operable to pass communication signals between a primary port on the backplane to a first one of the plurality of the data storage devices, and to pass communication signals between a secondary port on the backplane to a second one of the plurality of the data storage devices.

Abstract: A board fastening apparatus includes an anchor and a key connected by a flexible tether. The anchor may include a pedestal and a collar. The pedestal may be configured to engage a free edge of a data storage board. The pedestal may define a channel for receiving a pin from the key. The collar may be configured to engage a via form in a mounting board or other substrate. The fastening device key may include a base, a pin, and a pull tab. The pin may be affixed to a first surface of the base and configured to insert into the channel defined by the pedestal. With the anchor affixed to the mounting board and the storage board's free edge engaged by the pedestal, inserting the pin into the channel places the base partially overlying the storage board to restrain movement of the free edge in the vertical direction.

Abstract: A disclosed connector latch for latching a cable assembly to a connector includes a substantially planar body and has a width approximately equal to the cable assembly width. The connector latch includes a retention clip comprising first and second tabs. Each tab extends the latch body and terminates at a flange displaced above the latch body by a thickness of the cable assembly. The connector latch includes a clamp with first and second branches. Each branch includes a middle portion pivotally coupled to the latch body, a fang at a distal end of each branch, and pinch plates at a proximal end of each branch. The branches are configured with an unbiased state in which they engage a distal edge of a connector connected to the cable. The mass storage device may be an M.2 solid state drive and the device connector may be a serial ATA connector.
