Abstract: A combination connector may include a first connector housed within a housing and configured to be communicatively coupled to an information handling resource, the first connector configured to receive connectors of a first form factor and to communicatively couple a corresponding connector of the first form factor received by the first connector to the information handling resource, and a second connector housed within the housing and configured to be communicatively coupled to the information handling resource, the second connector configured to receive connectors of a second form factor and to communicatively couple a corresponding connector of the second form factor received by the second connector to the information handling resource. A first footprint of the corresponding connector of the first form factor as engaged with the first connector may be overlapping with a second footprint of the corresponding connector of the second form factor as engaged with the second connector.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include a structural base, a handle mechanically coupled to the structural base, and a cam element mechanically coupled to the handle. The handle may be configured to translate between an open position and a closed position and vice versa relative to the structural base. The cam element may be configured to mechanically couple to a retention structure for retaining the system when the handle is in the closed position and during at least a portion of the translation of the handle, move at least partially in a direction opposite to that of the handle in response to translation of the handle.

Abstract: A circuit board guide and bracket apparatus includes a first member collapsibly attached to a second member. The first member is attachable to a planar member in a chassis. The second member guides a circuit board being mounted into a connector on the planar member and supports the board subsequent to being mounted.
