  • Publication number: 20090067142
    Abstract: A retaining mechanism for retaining a circuit card includes a chassis (10), and a retaining member (80). The chassis has a front panel (14) and an opposite back panel (16). The front panel is configured for mounting a first edge of the circuit card thereon. The retaining member is pivotably attached to the back panel, and the retaining member defines a traversing securing slot (84) for receiving a second edge of the circuit card opposite to the first edge. The retaining member has a resilient hook (80) for detachably engaging with the back panel.

  • Publication number: 20090034190
    Abstract: An airflow-guiding device for guiding airflow to heat generating components includes an airflow-guiding shield and at least one airflow-guiding piece rotatable in the airflow-guiding shield. The airflow-guiding piece includes a guiding surface guiding airflow, and a blocking surface blocking airflow. An airflow-guiding position where the guiding surface faces the heat generating components guides airflow thereto, and an airflow-blocking position where the blocking surface faces the airflow blocks the airflow. The airflow-guiding piece rotates between the airflow-guiding position and the airflow-blocking position.
