  • Publication number: 20230128507
    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. The filter brace attaches and detaches at the security structure when the security structure locks a server information handling system housing so that the air filter can be changed while the housing remains secure.

  • 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.
