  • Patent number: 11856725
    Abstract: Carriers may be adapted, or configured, to allow devices received thereby to move towards and away from an interface end region. When devices are positioned proximate the interface end region of the carriers, interfaces of the devices may be presented by the carriers for operable coupling to an enclosure. When devices are positioned away from the interface end region of the carriers, interface adapters may be coupled to the interfaces of the devices, which may present a different interface for operable coupling to an enclosure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10803907
    Abstract: A rack enclosure system includes a receiving frame and a carrier. The carrier is configured to capture a storage device and to be slidably received by the receiving frame in a mounting direction. The carrier includes a first rail and a second rail each extending between a front end and a back end. The carrier also includes a cap member. The cap member may be rotatably or non-rotatably connected to the first rail at the front end. The cap is releasably connected to the second rail adjacent to the front end. The carrier further includes a handle with a cam portion and a latch portion. The cam portion is rotatably connected to the cap member and optionally the first rail. The latch portion is releasably connected to the cap member or the second rail.

  • Patent number: 10631432
    Abstract: An air intake control system can consist of an aero-acoustic assembly positioned within an enclosure. The aero-acoustic assembly may have an intake occupied by a plurality of louvers with each of the plurality of louvers configured to move between open and closed positions in response to airflow passing through the intake.

  • Patent number: 10622025
    Abstract: A storage chassis may be adapted, or configured, to secure a plurality of carrierless devices (e.g., without the use of a carrier or drive tray) received thereby. The storage chassis may include a base, a first drive wall coupled to and extending from the base, and a second drive wall coupled to and extending from the base. The first drive wall may be spaced apart from the second drive wall. The base, the first drive wall, and the second drive wall may define a row of drive slots and each drive slot of the row of drive slots may be configured to receive a carrierless device. Further, the storage chassis may include a plate extending across the row of drive slots and may be configured to extend over the carrierless devices received by the row of drive slots.

  • Patent number: 10455715
    Abstract: Carriers may be adapted, or configured, to secure one of a plurality of varying-sized devices received thereby. Regardless of the size of the device, an interface of the device may be positioned proximate an interface opening of the carrier for, for example, operable coupling to an enclosure. The carrier may include a first side rail, a second side rail, and a movable rail that moves between the first and second side rail to adapt, or configure, the carrier to secure the one of the plurality of varying-sized devices received thereby. For example, the movable rail may be linearly translatable between the first and second side rails.

The storage chassis may include a base, a first drive wall coupled to and extending from the base, and a second drive wall coupled to and extending from the base. Each of the first and second drive walls may include a top edge spaced away from a bottom portion of the base. The base, the first drive wall, and the second drive wall may define a row of drive slots and each drive slot may be configured to receive a carrierless device. Further, the storage chassis may include a plurality of locking units configured to extend across corresponding drive slots between the top edge of the first drive wall and the top edge of the second drive wall.
