  • Patent number: 7116241
    Abstract: A processor-based device having a plurality of memory cartridges secured within a chassis by a lever system. The processor-based device comprises an indication system to indicate memory system operating conditions. Each memory cartridge has a protective assembly to protect memory elements within the memory cartridge when the memory cartridge is removed from the processor-based device. The processor-based device is operable such that at least one memory cartridge may be removed from the processor-based device without affecting operation of the processor-based device.

  • Patent number: 5761030
    Abstract: An enhanced accessibility router includes an outer housing with a side wall opening through which a support tray man be inserted into the housing interior and removed therefrom. A variety of printed circuit boards, including a system I/O board, a CPU card, and various option cards are mounted on the tray for movement therewith. At the back end of the support tray is a specially designed latch and card support member which functions to releasably hold the tray in an outwardly withdrawn position thereof and to receive and support edge portions of the CPU card and option cards. The CPU card is captively retained on the tray by an elongated card retaining member that may be quickly and easily installed on and removed from the tray without tools. A front housing wall has an opening disposed therein and facing a PCMCIA card support structure mounted on the inner end of the support tray.
