Abstract: A riser of an information handling system having an adjustable baffle that blocks air flowing through the riser from by-passing components of an expansion card, such as a PCIe card, installed in the riser. The baffle directs the flowing air across components of the expansion card to lower the operating temperature of the expansion card by convection. In some embodiments, part of the baffle is coupled to an angled slot of the riser body and another part of the baffle is coupled to a card holder so that movement of the card holder automatically adjusts the position of the baffle to direct otherwise by-passing air toward the components of the installed expansion card.

Abstract: An assembly that includes a planar surface, a plurality of first features disposed on the planar surface and a plurality of second features disposed on the planar surface. Each second feature is associated with one of the first features and a fan module coupled to one of the first features and the associated second feature.

Abstract: A bezel lock system includes a bezel, convert bracket (CB), and lock. The bezel attaches to a chassis panel. The CB slideably secures a latching bracket (LB) of the bezel to a chassis, when in a locked position. The CB slides a length of a release gap along a transverse path from the locked position to a released position. The lock restricts removal of the bezel from the chassis when the lock is engaged in a locked orientation (LO). The lock includes a cam bracket (CamB) that rotates between locked and unlocked orientations. In the LO, the CamB constrains the CB from moving inward on the path by abutting the CB; CB is confined between the LB and CamB. In the unlocked orientation, the CamB is disposed out of the CB's path, allowing the CB to retract inward to the release position, which allows the bezel to detach from the panel.

Abstract: A positioning structure for positioning a plate-shaped structure having at least one positioning hole is disclosed. The positioning structure includes at least one positioning element corresponding to the positioning hole, and the positioning element includes a placement portion for supporting the plate-shaped structure and a positioning portion extending toward a direction far away from the placement portion to form a hollow cylinder shape, and the positioning portion has an outer surrounding surface and a plurality of inner threads. Hence, when the outer surrounding surface of the positioning portion of the positioning element is inserted into the positioning hole to contact with the inner surface of the positioning hole, the positioning portion of the position element can be positioned in the positioning hole, thus the instant disclosure can be used to accurately position and secure the plate-shaped structure.

Abstract: A fixing mechanism for storage device includes a frame, and a detent component. One sidewall of the frame has a latch member. The detent component is movably disposed on the sidewall of the frame, and has a pressing component and an operating component. The operating component is disposed with at least one stop block. When the operating component is moved relative to the frame to a press position, the pressing component pushes the latch member to engage with the storage device, the stop block is embedded in the frame, and the detent component is held in the press position. Accordingly, the storage device may be fixed to the frame rapidly without using any screw, the operating procedure is dramatically simplified, and the space occupied by the fixing mechanism and the manufacturing cost are reduced.

Abstract: A front panel assembly includes an inner cover plate having two first positioning pins, and a sliding door mechanism including a pair of slide rails each provided on a lateral side of the inner cover plate and having top and bottom ends. The first positioning pins are disposed intermediate of the pair of the slide rails. A door panel is slidable upward and downward along the slide rails, and has two second positioning pins. Two spring elements are disposed between the door panel and the inner cover plate. Each spring element has a first connecting end connected pivotally to a corresponding first positioning pin, and a second connecting end connected pivotally to a corresponding second positioning pin.

Abstract: A fixing mechanism of housing includes a housing and a fixing assembly. The housing has a first wall and a second wall connected adjacently. The first wall has an assembling portion with an assembling hole projected thereon. The second wall has a buckling tab. The fixing assembly includes a knob and a locking piece. The knob has an operating portion, connected to a mounting arm, disposed on the assembling portion. The locking piece has a base disposed on the inner side of the assembling portion, a hooking arm extended from the base, and an elastic portion. The mounting arm penetrates through the assembling hole in securing to the base. The elastic portion is connected to the hooking arm and the first wall on respective ends. The free end of the hooking arm has a claw portion selectively engaged with the buckling tab of the second wall.

Abstract: A fixing unit includes a fixing plate and a bolting member. The fixing plate including a front surface and a rear surface has a holding portion and a locking structure. The bolting member is movably assembled on the fixing plate. The bolting member includes a main segment, an extension segment and a protruding segment sequentially defined thereon.
