  • Patent number: 9854698
    Abstract: An example module is provided herein. The module includes a tray and a cable support member. The tray includes a cage, a handle mechanism, a tray handle, and a tray midplane. The cage receives an electronic component and the handle mechanism rotates the cage using a cage lever and a cam member between a closed position, a top open position, and a bottom open position. The tray handle releases the tray from an engaged position. The tray midplane provides a connector for the electronic component. The cable support member provides a movable connection between the tray midplane and an enclosure backplane.

  • Publication number: 20170347480
    Abstract: An example rail kit includes a bracket assembly that is attachable to opposing columns of a device rack, a middle rail that is slidably engaged by the bracket assembly, and an inner rail that is connectable to an electronic device and slidably engaged by the middle rail. The rail kit may include a rail lock that is attached to the bracket assembly and that is to, when the inner rail is not engaged by the middle rail and the middle rail is located at a first position that is forward of a fully retracted position, lock the middle rail by engaging a depression in the middle rail such that the middle rail is prevented from sliding rearward. The rail lock may be released as a result of the inner rail being slid toward a retracted position while engaged by the middle rail.

  • Patent number: 9735485
    Abstract: An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a unibody socket to receive a memory module that is to interface with a computing system. A portion of the unibody socket extends into a latch extension. The latch extension is to retain the memory module based on a positive locking latch retention force that is to increase in response to an unseating force of the memory module, to prevent removal of the memory module while the latch extension is in a latched position.

  • Publication number: 20170227247
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a thermal management door assembly. One example apparatus includes a first fan assembly including an intake region and an exhaust region. The apparatus also includes a second fan assembly aligned with the first fan assembly. The apparatus further includes a thermal management door assembly positioned between the first fan assembly and the second fan assembly. The thermal management door assembly includes a frame coupled to the first fan assembly and to the second fan assembly. The thermal management door assembly also includes a sealing door movably coupled to the frame to control an amount of air recirculation from the exhaust region to the intake region.
