Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device test socket has an integrally formed IC picking mechanism for removing an IC device from the test socket after testing. The test socket has a base member and a cover member. The base member includes a recess that is configured to receive an IC device for testing. The cover member is configured to removably engage the base member to secure the IC device between the cover member and the base member. The cover member includes an IC picking mechanism configured to use suction to retain the IC device to the cover member.

Abstract: A crossflow air deflector part for directing airflow includes a front central spine, a first arcuate wall extending from the spine to a first back lateral edge of the airflow deflector, and a second arcuate wall extending from the spine to a second back lateral edge of the airflow deflector opposing the first back lateral edge. Such an airflow deflector can be implemented into a storage server, positioned between a laterally adjacent pair of data storage device (DSD) chambers and a pair of vertically stacked fans, such that the crossflow air deflector functions to direct airflow from one of the lateral DSD chambers into the lower fan and to direct airflow from the other lateral DSD chamber into the upper fan. Independent airflow control for each DSD chamber and each corresponding DSD is thereby provided.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a module receivable in a modular electronic system, arms extending from a front panel of the module, and a cable support bracket connected to the arms. The cable support bracket is slidably connected to the arms to change a distance between the cable support bracket and the front panel of the module.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a cable management bracket for managing cables connected to a modular electronic system mounted on a rack comprises a fixed portion and a rotatable portion extending from the fixed portion and comprising a support member for supporting the cables, the rotatable portion rotatable with the cables to allow for removal and insertion of a module of the modular electronic system.

Abstract: An expandable rack mountable computing device for use in a variety of telecommunications and computing racks comprises a computing device chassis, at least one expandable baffle, at least one biasing mechanism, and at least one expansion mechanism. During installation of the computing device into a rack, the biasing mechanism holds the at least one expandable baffle in a retracted position at least partially inside of the computing device chassis. After installation of the computing device into a rack, the expansion mechanism pushes the at least one expandable baffle into a retracted position at least partially outside of the computing device chassis.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a frame for mounting in a rack in a position adjacent and external to a network device supported by the rack and a filter module for holding a filter for filtering air entering an air inlet of the network device. The frame includes an opening for receiving the filter module and positions the filter adjacent to the air inlet of the network device when installed on the rack.
