  • Publication number: 20170273211
    Abstract: A cable management apparatus that limits the degree of travel of a FRU (e.g., server, other computing device, power supply, etc.) out of a storage rack to an amount just necessary to service one or more particular components of the FRU (e.g., fan bay, etc.) free of having to power down the FRU which provides a more cost effective maintenance strategy for users. As a result, the disclosed cable management apparatus advantageously allows for the use of shorter cables between the FRU and other devices (e.g., other FRUs, switches, power supplies, etc.), improved airflow through the FRUs and the storage rack, reduced complexity of the cable management apparatus, simplified installation and manipulation of the apparatus, and the like.

  • Patent number: 5803237
    Abstract: The pushbutton switch of the present invention includes one or more normally open contact switches and a moveable base plate having a handle and moveable to either a disabled or an operational position by a force applied to the handle. One or more pushbuttons are included wherein each pushbutton is individually depressable to operate a respective one of said normally open contact switches to a closed condition when the moveable base plate is in the operational position. A cover plate having apertures corresponding to the pushbuttons and to the handle of the moveable base plate is included wherein the pushbuttons and the handle are accessible through the apertures. Two or more fasteners are used to slideably couple the moveable base plate to the cover plate. One or more detents are used to hold the moveable base plate in either the disabled or the operational position.
