Abstract: A server cabinet includes a housing and a power distribution unit (PDU). The housing includes a bottom plate defining two first holes, and a top plate defining two second holes. The PDU includes a main body, a top base, a motion member, a resilient member, and a handle. Two first pins protrude down from the main body to be inserted into the first holes. The top base is fastened to the main body. A top of the top base defines two through holes. The motion member is movably received in the top base, and forms two second pins. The resilient member is connected between the main body and the motion member, to bias the motion member to move up, thereby allowing the second pins to extend out of the corresponding through holes and be inserted into the second holes. The handle is attached to the motion member.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus includes a board presenting a number of engaging portions and a post, and a casing for containing a data storage device. The casing includes a bottom wall defining a number of engaging holes, an end wall perpendicularly connected to the bottom wall, and a fixing member pivotably mounted to the end wall. Each engaging hole may engage and lock an engaging portion. The fixing member forms a sliding portion having a slanted outer surface, and a protrusion connected to the sliding portion and is pivoted to move the casing away from the post, until the second holes engage with the corresponding engaging portions, and the protrusion resists against the post.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for fixing an expansion card includes a motherboard, an expansion slot installed on the motherboard, an expansion card inserted into the expansion slot, and two latching members respectively fixed to two ends of the expansion card. Each latching member includes a base plate fixed to the end of the expansion card, and a resilient hook extending from the base plate to latch an end of the expansion slot.

Abstract: A server assembly includes a chassis and a server module slidably received in the chassis. The chassis includes a backplane with a connector. The server module includes a mounting plate and a connecting plate movably attached to the mounting plate. A plurality of supporting posts protrude on the mounting plate. The connecting plate defines a plurality of elongated through slots according to the supporting posts. A flexible member is locked in each through slot. A plurality of fasteners extend through the flexible members to screw into the supporting posts, respectively. A resilient resisting member is arranged on the mounting plate, to abut against a front end of the connecting plate to insert a rear end of the connecting plate in the connector.
