  • Publication number: 20210068296
    Abstract: An electronic module (EM) carrier includes a sliding bracket coupled to the EM carrier and a handle coupled to the sliding bracket. The handle and sliding bracket are configured to engage with a stationary chassis to hold the EM carrier at a first position in a bay of the stationary chassis when the handle is open. The sliding bracket is further configured to translate the EM carrier to a second position in the stationary chassis when the handle is moved from an open position towards a closed position. In the second position, an EM carrier connector of the EM carrier is engaged with a sled connector of a sled and, in the first position, the EM carrier connector is disengaged from the sled connector.

  • Patent number: 9398716
    Abstract: A rack structure for mounting a server in a server system with a slide channel and a retention groove, includes: a rack formed with one engagement element slidable non-removably within the channel; and a rotary rod having a first end connected pivotally to the rack via a pivot pin and a second end provided with a slide stick extending slidably into the groove. The rotary rod is rotatable about the pivot pin relative to the rack between a locking position, where the rotary rod is generally aligned with the rack while the slide stick engages a first end of the groove so as to retain the rack non-movably in the channel, and an unlocked position, where the rotary rod extends generally transverse to the rack while the slide stick engages a second end of the groove to permit sliding action of the rack within the channel.
