  • Patent number: 9011170
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting a semiconductor is disclosed. First, the semiconductor is mounted into the bracket of a lid while the lid is detached from a frame. Once the semiconductor has been loaded into the lid/bracket assembly, the loaded lid is mounted onto the frame. The lid is then locked in place on the frame by rotating a locking lever into a closed locked position.

  • Patent number: 8891233
    Abstract: A cable management module having of a first module capable of connecting to a hard disk drive drawer; a second module releasably connected to the first module. A plurality of pairs of connecting arms connect the first module to the second module with each of the pairs of connecting arms being pivotally joined to each other at an intermediate point. A catch member is located on at least one side of the first module and a locking release mechanism is attached to the second module and to a locking member capable of engaging the catch member. A method for accessing a hard disk drive without disconnecting input/output cables and a method of replacing the input/output cables is also disclosed.
