Abstract: An alignment guidepin comprises a pre-alignment portion, an alignment portion, and a release portion. The pre-alignment portion provides gross alignment for a connection between a connecting module of a server and a connector of a computer server chassis. The alignment portion is connected to the pre-alignment portion having a first diameter to allow a high precision alignment for the connection between the connecting module and the connector. The release portion is connected to the alignment portion having a second diameter different than the first diameter to allow the connecting module and the connector to guide the connection.

Abstract: A device for preventing unauthorized entry of a removable media into a receptor. A key is attached to the removable media and a lock is attached to the receptor. If the key does not fit the lock, the lock prevents the removable media from fully entering the receptor. If the key does fit the lock, the lock will permit the removable media to fully enter the receptor.

Abstract: A hard drive carrier is disclosed that includes a key on a guide rail of the carrier. The key has a gap portion and a raised portion. When a hard drive fits within the gap portion, it can be placed in the hard drive carrier in a forward position. When the hard drive does not fit within the gap portion, it can only be placed in the hard drive carrier in a rear position. The guide rail includes a set of alignment holes to accommodate the positioning of the hard drive in a forward position or a rear position.

Abstract: A chassis is disclosed that includes a sidewall having an aperture and a gasket connected to the sidewall. A portion of the gasket protrudes through the aperture into a bay.

Abstract: Information handling system component cooling is enhanced with an airflow shroud that directs a primary airflow by a primary fan across the component, the airflow shroud having an opening proximate the component so that a secondary airflow is directed at the component by a secondary fan mounted on the airflow shroud at the opening. The secondary fan removably mounts to the airflow shroud to support hot swapping of a replacement fan and the airflow shroud pivots about a hinge to expose processing components, such as a central processing unit and memory. A finger guard mounted to the airflow shroud across the opening prevents accidental contact with an installed fan.
