Patent number: 11739929Abstract: An information handling system may include one or more illuminable icons to present information to a user of the system, such as information regarding a status of the information handling system. An illuminable icon may be lit by a plurality of light sources, and light from the plurality of light sources may be diffused across the illuminable icon by a light guide film. Some illuminable icons may have multiple portions that may be separately illuminated to convey different information to a user. An isolation block may prevent light from light sources configured to illuminate one portion of an illuminable icon from illuminating other portions of the illuminable icon. Thus, light for illuminating icons of an information handling system may be diffused and/or blocked to enhance aesthetic appeal of the icons and to prevent user confusion that may result from bleeding of light from one portion of an illuminable icon to another and/or uneven illumination of an icon.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2022Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Yi-Chang Chen, Chih-Hsien Chang, Hsiang-Yin Hung

Patent number: 11375635Abstract: A chassis for housing a computing device of an information handling system includes an expansion card receiver. The chassis also includes an electrical receiver decoupler that partially ejects an expansion card from the expansion card receiver when an electrical connector of the expansion card is coupled to an electrical receiver of the expansion card receiver that enables the expansion card to be operably connected to a second component of the computing device. Partially ejecting the expansion card does not require the user of the chassis to physically contact the expansion card directly.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: HungWen Wu, Hsiang-Yin Hung

Patent number: 11304327Abstract: An enclosure for installation in a server rack has front panel access to multiple release mechanisms. The front panel access allows separate and safe dual tasking of both hot and cold swaps. A hot swap mechanism allows a sled to be ejected while retaining a connection to electrical power. A separate cold swap mechanism releases the sled and also disconnects the electrical connection. When the hot swap mechanism is engaged or enabled, one or more mechanical linkages operate to lock out access to the cold swap mechanism. When the cold swap mechanism is engaged or enabled, the mechanical linkages interferes or blocks manual operation of the hot swap mechanism. Both the hot swap mechanism and the cold swap mechanism thus cannot be inadvertently and/or simultaneously performed.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Hsiang-Yin Hung, Chi-Feng Lee, Raymond D.
