  • Patent number: 11914541
    Abstract: In example implementations, a computing device is provided. The computing device includes an expansion interface, a first device, a second device, and a processor communicatively coupled to the expansion interface. The expansion interface includes a plurality of slots. Two slots of the plurality of slots are controlled by a single reset signal. The first device is connected to a first slot of the two slots and has a feature that is compatible with the single reset signal. The second device is connected to a second slot of the two slots and does not have the feature compatible with the single reset signal. The process is to detect the first device connected to the first slot and the second device connected to the second slot and disable the feature by preventing the first slot and the second slot from receiving the single reset signal.

  • Patent number: 6826044
    Abstract: A computer enclosure includes a cage (10) and a drive bracket (40). The cage has two side panels (22), and each side panel forms a first slideway (26) and an aligned second slideway (30). Each first slideway includes a blocking portion (28). The drive bracket has two side walls (42). Each side wall attachingly receives a first sliding member (60), and forms a second sliding member (80). A slot (66) is defined in each first sliding member, thereby forming an elastic portion. A handle (68) is formed at a front end of the elastic portion, and a barb (72) protrudes from a top face of the elastic portion. In assembly, the drive bracket is pushed into the cage, with the second and first sliding members sliding along the second and first slideways. The barbs engage with the blocking portions, thus preventing the drive bracket from accidentally detaching from the cage.
