Abstract: Systems having fluid conduit carriers for holding different portions of a fluid conduit and methods of using the same are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system includes a fluid conduit comprising a first portion and a second portion that are fluidly connected to each other for carrying cooling fluid proximate to a first electronic component and a second electronic component of a computing device. The system also includes a first fluid conduit carrier configured to hold the first portion of the conduit. Further, the system includes a second fluid conduit carrier configured to hold the second portion of the conduit. The first fluid conduit carrier and the second fluid conduit carrier are configured to connect to one another.

Abstract: A modular electronic system including a mechanism for releasably securing a modular device within a chassis, and for facilitating insertion and removal of the modular device. One embodiment provides a modular device that includes a handle secured to opposing pivotable lever arms. A follower pin secured to one end of the lever arms rides in a slot defined by the chassis. The slot is arranged so that pulling upward on the handle moves the follower pin in one direction along the slot to urge the modular device in a direction further into the device bay, and pushing downward on the handle urges the modular device in a direction out of the device bay, thereby providing a mechanical advantage to the user. When the modular device is fully inserted, retractable locking members provided on the modular device move into windows provided on the chassis, to releasably lock the modular device in the device bay.

Abstract: An information control panel and hinge member is removably joined together as a single unit to a retractable shuttle device utilized with computer servers or processor-based devices. The shuttle device having a first central opening with plural spaced apart detent grooves positioned thereabout. The hinge member includes a second central opening with plural spaced apart tabs positioned thereabout. A screw fastening element positioned through the first and second openings to directly and rotatably secure the hinge member relative to the shuttle device. A latch release means permits the single unit to be easily positioned in plural horizontal and vertical orientation positions that moves between selective ranges of 0 degrees to 90 degrees as the tabs moves relative to the detent grooves. Also, at least a stop member is located on the hinge member adjacent one of the tabs to stop the single unit at the minimum and extreme orientation positions.

Abstract: A latch mechanism for securing a module in an electronic component chassis includes at least one lever arm attached to the module and rotable between a latched and unlatched position, at least a portion of the lever arm having an interference fit with the chassis when the lever arm is in the latched position. The latch mechanism further includes at least one pawl rotably attached to the module such that when the lever arm is moved to the latched position, the lever arm rotates the pawl into a latched position wherein the pawl has an interference fit with the chassis.
