  • Patent number: 12557234
    Abstract: A server information handling system is secured by a bezel that couples to an access location, such as an air vent at a front or rear face of a housing. The bezel includes a security structure having a lock and configured to couple directly at the front face or with a bezel extension at the rear face so that the server information handling system can use the same bezel with both a front face or rear face rack mount. The bezel has a lock integrated with the security structure, an air filter that fits over the security structure to filter air flowing into the housing, and a filter brace that captures the air filter by coupling to the security structure over the air filter.

  • Publication number: 20230122860
    Abstract: An information handling system storage device rotationally couples first and second storage drive bays to a housing and having a gap between them. The second storage drive bay rotationally couples between a stored position in planar alignment with the first storage drive bay and a raised position that provides access to storage drives in the second storage drive bay. A latch rotationally couples to the second storage drive bay and extends in a stored position into the gap. A pin and guide arrangement defines rotation of the latch relative to the storage drive bay to a raised position and then translates upward force applied to the latch to rotate the storage drive bay to a raised position.
