  • Patent number: 8315059
    Abstract: A screw-less fixing assembly for an interface card having a fixing support includes a frame, a movable cover module and an elastic member. The frame has an I/O opening. One side of the I/O opening is provided with an accommodating space. A long plate of the fixing support is positioned to correspond to the I/O opening, and a short plate of the fixing support is received in the accommodating space. The movable cover module is mounted in the accommodating space. The elastic member has an elastic protrusion positioned to correspond to the short plate of the fixing support. The movable cover module is moved to drive the elastic protrusion to tightly fix the short plate of the fixing support to the frame. With this arrangement, the interface card can be rapidly detached from the frame or attached thereto without using screws.

  • Patent number: 8089763
    Abstract: A heat-dissipating assembly for a server includes a housing in which a partitioning plate and a power supply mounted on one side of the partitioning plate are provided. The power supply includes a casing and a power-supplying module received in the casing. The heat-dissipating assembly includes a fan received in the casing and located outside the power-supplying module. The partitioning plate and the casing are respectively provided with a plurality of first heat-dissipating holes and second heat-dissipating holes. The first heat-dissipating holes and the second heat-dissipating holes are positioned to correspond to the fan. The airflow caused by the fan drives the air inside the housing to flow out of the housing via the first heat-dissipating holes and the second heat-dissipating holes. In this way, the heat-dissipating efficiency can be improved without affecting the arrangement of other electronic devices in the housing.

  • Patent number: 7894195
    Abstract: A disposing structure of industrial computer chassis includes a chassis shell, two motherboard trays and a back plate. The interior of the chassis shell is divided into a storage unit section and a motherboard section. The interior of the storage unit section is arranged at least one storage unit, while two motherboard trays are disposed in the motherboard section. The interior of each motherboard tray is arranged a motherboard. In the motherboard trays, at least one motherboard tray is extended a wedge frame toward the storage unit section. A transfer card having a hot swapping function is arranged on the wedge frame and is arranged by inserting into the corresponding motherboard. In addition, a back plate is arranged between the storage unit section and the motherboard section. Corresponding to the wedge frame, a slot capable of a hot swapping function is arranged on the back plate. In so doing, the transfer card may be inserted into the slot, thereby, providing a hot swapping function.

  • Patent number: 7839624
    Abstract: An industrial computer chassis structure is mainly to partition at least two motherboard sections in the shell of the computer chassis, in each of which a motherboard tray capable of being pulled and drawn is arranged and is provided for placing a motherboard therein. Meanwhile, the two motherboard sections are horizontally disposed by being parallel with each other, in the space between which a power source arrangement section is formed. The power source arrangement section is provided for arranging power supplies of the computer therein. Through this kind of disposition structure, all motherboards in the motherboard sections can be close to the power source arrangement section as near as possible, such that a function of common usage can be achieved for both the hardware connection and the software system control.
